> The tangible proof you're looking for is the current market/state of software as it is developed and released in general across the commercial industry.

When every company does the same thing, that tells you nothing about what the public wants. There is simply no choice. By your logic, every authoritarian thing governments do is what people want, but all of those are highly contentious. Pointing at the current state of things is seldom an accurate barometer of desire. If that were the case, nothing would ever change.

Clearly you haven’t been closely following the release of macOS Tahoe. Don’t conflate the general public with “influencers” whose only job is to hype anything new.

Widespread adoption across an industry is a classic market response to satisfying demand.

Discussing software feedback forums and jumping to how I would respond to a conversation about a authoritarian "thing" governments do is irrelevant and didn't go anywhere

> Clearly you haven’t been closely following the release of macOS Tahoe.

You have jumped to an entirely incorrect conclusion here. I have made dozens of comments and been involved in the beta testing of Tahoe.

It is generally best in a conversation to try and engage with the information others post.
