I think it's similar to some users believing they have a right to privacy or a right to "their" data on platforms like Facebook. Use at your own risk because they're not free services; they have a profit motive by nature

I believe Red Hat gets most of its revenue from subscriptions and maintenance/support. They don't really have an incentive to try and protect software they've developed; instead, they benefit the more of the software they mai

What is complicated about wires? I'm from the generation that had just discovered CD players with "anti-skip" techology and Minidisc. I don't find wires complicated, but I feel wireless earbuds, despite potential loss
