Without that "shit show" you would never end up with devices like iPhones and useful software that drove last decades of innovation and progress.

The ability to build better things is the reason why you can now sit here, using technologies built on that "shit show" machine, and bloviate how new generations aren't allowed to build new things anymore because a megacorp needs to feed its greed.

It doesn’t follow that the past had to be a shit show for the future to not be a shit show.

In any case we are largely still learning when it comes to security and I don’t really want to make things less secure for the many just to satisfy the few.

I believe the point being made was that “the few” are the people making what’s next.
