I did try to resist for a long time (about the same age as you), but I finally caved in a few years ago.... But I'm thinking of going back without a pocket computer because the mobile companies can't be trusted.
if you're picky about any of your food, you have to do everything yourself because corporations don't care, and most people don't have time to do that (and the poor can't afford it)... here is one more example: https://abcnews.go.com/US/fake-fish-experts-mislabeling-seaf...
Most software companies end up doing this in the long run... Even Firefox is not immune. My guess as to why this happens is that all those engineers need something to do/something to show for (AKA fix what's not broken)... and I can't really blame them... I just wish that it would be possible to keep 2 branches of any given software; one with only security patches, and one with feature and security patches.
