Is designing for retention bad then? God forbid you write a story that captivates readers; if they don't stop reading after a few chapters, why, that's illegal mate

Lol, so then cigarette makers weren't deliberately modifying drug levels in their product to addict smokers, they were "designing for retention".

More to the point, though, your comments here are all straw men. This was specifically a case about targeting children with addictive features of their products.
