It's Google's own fault that anything new they launch these days has a meme status. I don't see anything wrong in pointing this out.

Similarly, many people avoid watching Netflix shows until they survive to season 3 at least because it's not worth investing your time in something that's likely to get cancelled after a season or two.

It's their own doing and mocking it is fully deserved

Maybe, just maybe more shows should be built around being a single season long with fewer rear end pulls. I'm so sick of these multiseason shows that just do nothing or don't answer questions.

This is already totally besides the point, but I fully agree. If writers know the show has a limited lifespan, they can build an actually coherent and interesting story. If they have to write season 5 out of X, it's going to be just disappointing and more of the same old. For this reason I rarely watch any shows these days.

I don't disagree with you, but it's the volume of the "pointing it out" that is tiresome. I was hoping to see an interesting technical discussion of the new OS, but instead any that might exist is drowned out with an avalanche of dumb. It's not a verboten thing to say, but it is very low effort and uninteresting, and when it makes up 90% of the comments on an otherwise pretty interesting announcement...

But what would be the point?

For one, as some people said, it's secure but whatever it does will certanily pass information through Google, and you can't trust them.

And two, as some other people said, Google projects don't survive if they get less than 100 million users.
