Just like cloud vs private server. It'll be based on use case.

Some open source models will cross the chasm, some big ai providers will too, and in both case they will have their specific use cases.

Buildings are built to resist earthquakes. Outside, anything (electric poles, roof tiles...) can fall on you.

I'm all for everything being compatible with everything, but why should apple invest resources in testing/debugging android compatibility for something that they make?

Indeed, target users are people seeking validation + kids and teenagers + people with a less developed critical mind. Stickiness with 90% of the population is valuable for Sam.

It's not all or nothing. Within EU nations, you will find many systems that sit within a spectrum between a rigid 2 party system like the US, and a full blown multi-party coalition type government broken down into specific levels, like Belgium.

Or, if you're more of the entrepreneurial mindset, do one last update of the software to introduce a pay-as-you-go/SaaS model with your credit card in, and when you're leaving, you remove your credit card info.

Wow, I'd love to witness something like that one day. My circle doesn't include a lot of these people, and maybe that in itself is part of the more general problem.
