Leave it to big tech to introduce the same exact product with less features while they gaslight you into believing it's a shiny new product that you should be excited about.
Give it a year after people has gotten used to it and forgot how it was. They'll sell it back to you as a premium feature.
Big tech is about big money, it has less and less to do with tech
The new feature is how much they shove them down your throat.
When I see "New and improved!!" all I get is "We have found a way to make more money, and we sure as fuck ain't passing the earnings to you", or potentially "We faced a lawsuit so have since begun to follow the smallest possible set of FDA guidelines the law allows for, making OUR product safer for YOU!"
You described Apple perfectly
Sure our product is made by Filipino children, and sure it pollutes pristine wetlands, and yes, it does unfairly contribute to an insanely skewed distribution of wealth, but think of the INNOVATION!
