I think you're misunderstanding things. You trust these companies to do what is best for the consumer. That's not how the rest of us, or the companies you're defending, consider things. Their interest is in the bottom dollar. If screwing you makes a buck, they'll do it. Trusting them to do the right thing is a major player in enshittification.

I think you're misunderstanding things. I absolutely do not. Quite the opposite, actually. Hence why I said "of course they probably won't".
