Sounds like the modern Pharisees.
I believe one reason is because it’s completely unnecessary. Like the rektide also mentioned people are unwilling to “give up control”.

Many people see large corporations and because we’re the “21st century” believe that everything that is made should be the best or is somehow the most advanced thing and therefore should be far superior. Unfortunately that couldn’t be farther from the truth in many ways.

Items made are often times just pushed out there because they want to be the first at a growing market, without really really caring what the best for the consumer is. They want wants best for their pocketbooks, what turns a profit and positions them as the leader in the minds of the masses. Security is usually an afterthought. Actual need and what’s best for humanity is even further down in that list.

Feeding big data machines will never be what’s best for individuals needs
