For those that do, it's huge. For those that don't, it's quite small.
And for the small ones, Wordpress or similar powers their laundromat. A good small business. As you say, one that takes effort to run. Stripes the banks POS, perhaps someone has some mid scale in Tide sales in the middleware SaaS, there can be a franchise that doesn't fully adapt to how many socks Vs fur local customers have.
But think laundromat. Local restaurant. Which are fine businesses.
Or aside from re-writing standards, I don't get the point about translations. I go for classes on elements, like
<h1>
h1: var(--c0-b);
That means colours can be swapped around like an i18n language, by changing the palette that sits in the CSS file. Putting 'black' inline be it in actual inline css. or pseudo inline css that seems to be the case with the library here, is the exact opposite of an analogy to i18n in mind and seems a great step back, back to pre stylesheet days, in the power of abstraction.The political environment the site operates in turns hostile to website content or method of publishing. The operators face costs of compliance, loss of scope, or personal risk in continuing.

Is this inline CSS reimagined?
Given the viscosity of air vs. water, one might assume there's no water in the well. Also, given some surface area of a bear, and air pressure from a cushion of air formed under the falling bear, the fall speed does seem a little high, at least for a calculation with that number of decimal places, but perhaps the well was located in the crust of the earth where gravity's a tad higher.
Living bears are also buoyant, and will be slowed down considerably on meeting the water, so the bear is unlikely to have reached the bottom of a water-filled well for a long period, if at all.
To answer OP, I'd say the bear is brown, because of the mud from the base of the (somewhat empty) well. However to an outside observer, given the lack of light in the well the shade of brown might not be discernable. A human in the well with the bear will see the colour of the bear as a low relative concern compared to A) being in a well and B) being in a well with a bear.
Will the shipping company next be blamed for not shipping it in time for the plane to be delivered?
Perhaps the shipping company can be Malaysian too. They lose planes. Or pick another developing country. Blame them. Must be their fault.
But it's not Boeing's fault. A faulty supplier. Not us. We'll change supplier. Not the management's fault. We'll keep going on. While more avoidable accidents happen. The number's small. Like the movie where an acceptable number of car accidents, of people dead, mean is re call's not necessary.
Boeing have decided there's an acceptable number of people that can die before fundamental changes happen in management. And that change in management will only happen after those people, those avoidable deaths, will be dead.
Is your next flight a Boeing?
And the manufacturer couldn't find the original designers' details. And laid no claim to copyright (which seems strange).
Perhaps it was the case of a knockoff of a knockoff of a knockoff. A CAD file from the 1990s bumping around commodity manufactures via QQ and USB sticks, the design adapted the next order of 10,000 items by any one of a multitude of small commodities producers. Having sourced during that time to now, I'd fully believe it.
everything is fine is different from nothing has been reported. A green is misleading, there should be no green as green is unknown, there should be nothing with a note that there's nothing, and that's not the same as a green light.
30 years ago much of the population was concerned about typing a credit card number into 'the internet'. Now we have a small, hackable, stealable, insecure by design device with bank, personal communications, business communications, social security, family photos and numerous more data depending on your choice of app. It's a great win of drip-drip very convenient life is faster now (it isn't, there's just more gap for not planning).

There must be use cases for this, but I lack imagination. Cost? But not cost?

I worked in core banking systems for a bit. This is beyond basic, it demonstrates Fujitsu do not have controls in place to design compliant systems. Fujitsu should forever have their reputation tarnished and never let near financial systems. I don't often advocate selling a business to Tata, but this might be one of those times.
That'll return whatever partial thing you want to return and replace <your element here> (with 1sec effect).
Conclusion: Polars gives you indigestion.
For example, I've started ordering my calendar by algorithm. Whatever's at the top I'll go to, even if it was a week ago. Occasionally there'll still be some other people similarly sticking around in the concert hall or meeting room. Oh boy, do they have some stories!
I've also started paying bills by algorithm. If it's important enough, I'll pay it twice. Because algorithms at identifying the products I really need to pay for. If the algorithm doesn't prioritise it, I let it slide. I feel on the vanguard.
That's the only logical way. Give it a try.
Econ 101: Content is now (has been for a while) non-rival - we can make identical copies, A's use of A's copy does not deny B use of their copy.
Content is also non-excludable - excluding access, there's no other description is what (some) publishers are trying to do.
* And it played out for music just fine, after a while. The RIAA fought tooth and nail. I don't think Elsivier et al can fight harder than they did. Perhaps they'll try dirtier.
Music is the harbinger of academic and book publishing. The faster this is realised, and they're really really show, the better off society will be. Do a spotify for books and papers, whatever. That much of the academic world lives in Zotero (or JabRef), LaTeX, (perhaps, I do) Zettlr and a motley crew of other grass-roots open source projects created for necessity, old-skool subscriptions and terrible terrible terrible library search engines suggests a field ripe for some picking. If content makes it onto a screen, it makes it into the wild.
I don't think Wired got the memo that even the RIAA did.
I for one am swimming in all the surplus cash not going to the EU any more, as well as all those upwards revisions to GDP and employment, and our pound soaring to new highs improving my purchasing power.
