"All of the platforms are catered to mass audiences anyway and suck for power users."

They are catered to investors. The "mass audience" is just a selling point.

Neither investors nor the web/mobile "entrepreneurs" care whether the "audience" is complaining or not, they just care whether the audience is captured. If the audience cannot "leave", if it is made excessively difficult to do so, if there's no other viable alternatives, that's a positive in the eyes of the investor and hence a first priority of every web/mobile "entrepreneur".

<s> Why not support these generous "entrepreneurs". They give away so much "for free". Accept all advertising and tracking. </s>
