It's not.

You're ascribing thoughts and words to me that I never said or thought.
> at no point have I made an argument that has anything to do with privacy
What argument did you then make? We're literally in the context of why these things are the way the are due to privacy concerns
> I don't think conversation beyond this point is productive.
I don't think it was ever meant to be productive with opening like "you're thinking like an engineer and can't ever imagine what a user thinks or does"
This thread is getting nowhere but I'll leave it with this: the attitude you've outlined here is really patronizing. That these users can't possibly have valid opinions about the tools they use, if they dare to be happy with them they are wrong because you know better than they do. How dare they not care about 20% CPU usage! How dare they!
> it's funny how in the name of privacy
at no point have I made an argument that has anything to do with privacy
> the desktop apps that you complain are security nightmares
nor have I ever claimed desktop apps are security nightmares.
Like I said, I think I'm comfortable wrapping up my contributions here. I don't think conversation beyond this point is productive.
