I’m guessing the answer is ✨capitalism✨
Isn’t it always?
Not always, if the headline is “How do we stop (insert capitalism-caused problem)?” Then the answer is revolution.
I was thinking more in regards to questions of “why is [bad thing] allowed to be [bad in this manner]?”

i guess that sort of makes sense, like if you’re hacking the thing to install your own software, Nintendo says “have fun outside but you can’t come back to our garden”.
But it also doesn’t because Nintendo has the power to remove functionality that I already paid them for. Even if I tinker with my device, why does that mean that I can never go back to the stock Switch experience that I paid for?

That’s a very different privilege, one that is in direct contradiction to the consumer’s right to repair
Legally? Naw it won’t hold up in court.
George Lucas doesn’t have the right to come into my house and smash my VHS copies of the original trilogy pre-special edition.
