Which is why enshittification will only to enshittify.
Cause while there may be rare individuals like you and me who cause ourself stress and headache by trying to find work arounds to avoid certain companies and practices... The overwhelming majority of people just don't care, even if they get absolutely properly fucked over by a company or product. They'll bitch and moan about it, maybe even curse its name... But they will eventually go crawling back, to that same company or another one who does the exact same thing, because the average person would lose their mind if they had to deal with even the most mildest of inconvenience in their everyday life, even if that inconvenience is something as small as learning a different product.
at least thats been my personal experience dealing with consumers over the past 20+ years.
Unfortunately, you're very right. I try to do my part in convincing people to choose otherwise, though.
and they act like they listen, then a month later they bought a new PoS from the same company and you just rip your hair out.
