It amazes me that you cannot seem to realise that many people have problems with the inappropriate uses of technologies.

And they are free to make choices and accept the inconveniences that come with those choices.

I’m sure people complained about those horseless carriages years after cars became mainstream

why do you think that so many people here are proposing that the choices you suggest are toxic? because they are stupid?

Well, if you stay in the HN bubble you would think that in normal life, people are complaining that they can't run Linux on AirPods....

But in the real world, smart phone penetration is 95%, including 94$ of the homeless (I posted a citation earlier)

People also think that alcohol sales shouldn't happen on Sunday, and all other crazy stuff. I'm simply suggesting that if your choices are out of the society's norms, it's not society's responsibility to make affordances for you.

somethings that you don't seem to understand:

- this is not entirely about the homeless

- this is not entirely about the elderly

it is about companies using technology badly - something you either support or can't recognise.

If we made a law forbidding companies from using software badly, every single SaaS business would disappear.

Would you believe that my wife and I refuse to use American Airlines partially because the app and the website is so bad? I stay away from a lot of services, software and hardware because of a bad user experiences.

People are complaining about cars now. Walkable cities and bike lanes are the fashionable wave in urbanism.
