These are valid gripes–I'd guess most people on HN agree with them. But this election wasn't about dark patterns. The fury is specific to datacenters and AI. If policymakers miss this and get distracted with a list such as yours, they will have failed.

I’m not thinking about this from a policy maker POV. Their constituents definitely expect them to focus on AI data centers.
I’m thinking about this like a post mortem for the tech industry. There is a reason consumers have no love for big tech, and data centers are just the latest and biggest reason.
