If your audience can exclude the very poor and people with extreme bandwidth limitations ( for updating OS, etc), or you can afford to just tell people “no” then that’s certainly a decision you can make. But you’ll be saying no to a lot of people.

I’m getting a lot of pushback in this thread so I’ll put this in the “maybe I’m wrong bucket”.
