I agree! I think a more interesting question is "why?", the implementation details are 6 vs a half-a-dozen.

I wrote a short story about why: https://nothingtrue.substack.com/p/discovered-a-secret-messa...

Only consultants will earn that, and only after they've been a consultant for several years (i.e. they've been working as a hospital doctor in total for somewhere between 12-20 years)

The doctor quoted will likely be ST3 band, which means they've completed a 5 or 6 year medical degree, and then been a full-time "junior doctor" working in a hospital for 5 further years.

Doctors in the NHS are horrifically underpaid, and especially post-brexit there's a growing exodus to higher-paid countries (Australia, New Zealand, USA...).

Particularly annoyingly, my password manager (Lastpass) stops working, as it thinks the website context is a Microsoft domain, so suggests irrelevant usernames/passwords.

To be fair the same happens with any app that does this (e.g. LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook), so maybe it's Lastpass's bug. But I get zero value from the captured webview, so on balance I'd strongly prefer if app developers stopped doing this.
