When hundreds of millions of people keep buying things you believe are awful, perhaps it&#x27;s time to ask how broadly shared your views are.<p>For every nerd who complains about not being able to root their iPhone, there are probably a hundred people who think “I&#x2F;my kids&#x2F;my parents won&#x27;t get mal&#x2F;ransom-ware”. Repeat for almost every other security or reliability issue.<p>I&#x27;m not entirely in love with the effects but I&#x27;m not going to say those people are wrong because they value stability and lack the extremely high level of skill needed to operate a general purpose computer safely.
