The new crap is more user-hostile and loses backwards compatibility. I'm not enticed by efficiency or environmental virtue signaling.

As the saying in the car enthusiast community goes: "It's not about the miles per gallon, it's the smiles per gallon."

In what way is it user hostile?

Backwards compatibility to what, MS-DOS? People usually complain about forward compatibility regarding TPM, never had any issues with backwards compatibility on the last chips.

How is more money in your pocket virtue signaling?
