I am pretty sure enshitification is a specific process with a specific meaning, what you're talking about, quality going down for whatever reason you can just call "going to shit."

Let's not lose the useful concept enshitification is a pointer to by overloading the word :)

I don't think I'm really pushing the bounds here. The fast pace does help make things sticky. We love shiny new features. Even if it is just a polished turd. My worry is about more polished turds, which I think is pretty in line with enshitification since the de facto tech is reliant upon network effects. But I guess the thought is more general.

Words shift meanings and once you have coined something you lose control over it. Bitter sweet.
