Situation: People are getting fat from choosing to eat too much bacon

"Pitiful, though with a thankfully straightforward cure. We arrest all pig farmers, meat packers and delivery drivers while inspecting all refrigerated cargo at checkpoints. We shall demolish any restaurant serving pork, blame each person who has ever eaten a slice regardless of their health, and demonize every salty and fatty food."

"Yes, my stance is drastic. But once we remove the burden of choice from our citizens, they will be empowered to make new, more valuable decisions with their life. Bacon will never be a problem again."

New situation: People have quit bacon and started smoking cigarettes

In fact, governments do step in to fix behaviours when their citizens go overboard.

I don't ship any Electron app at $dayjob so while I could afford to sit on a high horse I don't think it's warranted. Electron really isn't an issue, it doesn't really help Chrome's position as a browser in any meaningful way. It doesn't drive people to use the Chrome "chrome" which is where the money is.

It's why despite Edge being built on Chrome they're pushing it hard because owning the space around the browser window is the goal.

Anything that pushes chrome helps Chrome gain market share.

Ironically the only thing I use Chrome for is when I have to have a telecon with Microsoft Teams (which, at least last time I tried, had a nonfunctional Linux client and worked terribly in Firefox). Fortunately it's only when I have a call with NASA people that I have to use Teamms.
