They don't make decisions based on what you like. They make decisions based on what makes them money. If that means we suffer, we suffer. These people do not care if what they do makes us suffer or destroys our life so long as they aren't held accountable and it might make them money. No consumer product is made to make any of us happy. They are made to separate us from our money and our rights.

Shame you won't even get the cool aesthetic as a silver lining, just more tacky gold if anything.
