Who are these "people" who post enlightened reviews on the spammiest and most bloated apps on android in existence? It seems most mobile users hsve fallen in line to what corporate devs want you to do, rather than seeing what could be done, in software.

We are standardizing insecure data collection with age verification, or forcing control by a company on what apps you use, when we should be debating sbout options for notification sorting or letting users choose the ads they are forced to see.

Or which UI is better to customize OS colors, or how best to let users disable all permissions for apps (like internet access, or device volume control), or even as simple as when to let the user select their search engine (not, which search engine to set as default; give users the choice upfront)

The tech world needs to argue about how much user choice is enough, but instewd we are accepting options being removed and fighting choices which users are forced to adapt. This isnt the age of technological regression in hardware ownership and software UX. **How can we stop this and go forward?**
