" And if they're really really smart and lucky then it snowballs into mass-
market adoption for the 93%."
Now it's getting productive. I know you know/see this stuff.
What is the actual benefit of mass-market adoption? Is displacing the 7% user
group a good thing or acceptable JUST because it means more profit? If the
widget becomes a Fake Widget or a Less Useful Widget in the bargain of gaining
mass acceptance, what has been achieved other than profit? Is the deception
involved a positive or negative change? Why should we celebrate "progress" and
"upgrades" that work long-term harms? Why are people afraid to discuss this?
