My point exactly. Most people don't give a shit about the technical side of the internet experience. As long as they have something working well enough to facilitate the fulfillment of their own selfish desires, they don't care how shoddy is the doorway getting them there. And if they stub their proverbial toe, they'll cross the street and walk on the other side, still not caring about what's under their digital feet. All that matters is that it wirks. Unless fair-minded people are willing to learn and teach others the importance of scratching beneath the surface, tech will always be a lesser of two/three/four evils proposition. There are a variety of Linux flavors available to suit a variety of needs, for instance, but the basic tech knowledge needed out of the box is beyond most users willingness toworks to it as a primary OS.

For my part, I've tried objecting to all kinds of useless tweaks in various interfaces over the years but it's never done any good. I gave up trying to appeal to reason once I realized that most end users are not the customers, but rather the guinea pigs for this vast social psychology experiment that is the information age. The real customers are the data merchant slime, and unless they're willing to forgo a healthy bottom line, tech will always be at their mercy. This is why I take care to use Tor as my primary browser, and I clear my web history after every use no matter what browser I'm employing for my needs.
