The population (especially the younger generation, who never seen a different kind of technology at all) is being conditioned by the tech industry to accept that software should behave like an unreliable, manipulative human rather than a precise, predictable machine. They’re learning that you can’t simply tell a computer “I’m not interested” and expect it to respect that choice. Instead, you must engage in a perpetual dance of “not now, please” - only to face the same prompts again and again.

    For similar reasons the ask not to track verbiage of iphones rubbed me the wrong way.
