    it arguably comes under the umbrella or enshitification

    How so?

    “first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification

      This is just being mega pedantic for no reason, seems like everyone else is getting the gist of the thread just fine.
