Well, to me it is, that's why I am earnestly asking the question. Do I/the day to day consumer need to lose our shit over this.
Here is how it concerns you:
By restricting what people can and can't do (by removing features you don't use), they slowly restrict our collective ability to independently verify their claims or to independently serve our own needs - making us more reliant on them.
It's small and minor, but it's just like with the DMCA and the new ID laws. It's about slowly erecting barriers that impede our ability to act collectively or anonymously under the guise of it being "for our own good."
