Legislators and media fail to understand the systemic consequences of user-hostile "open" language, so do things like (a) force users to deal with 'must have' apps becoming only available outside of pro-user curation so adtech can exploit them (b) force genuinely user-friendly subscriptions management to be "opened" so billions more dollars can be pulled from user wallets without users realizing or understanding or having the willpower to overcome barriers to cancelling.
The knock-on consequences to device security, performance, reliability, and user privacy, are not understood or discussed, and if understood, would not be wanted by normal users.
This is all beautifully orchestrated by black-is-white named foundations and interest groups funded by surveillance capitalism[^2]. It's dystopian.
