@numericcitizen I think some users and developers—against accumulated experience, and against many rational and straightforward arguments—believe that big internet players will somehow "be cool", will think of the internet itself as more important than anything they might craft to put on it. And so would never, for example, leave users in a lurch by switching off something that had been switched on "the whole time"—this, rather than re(re)re:re-inventing put_me_on_net().
