There's this quote about how the dictator are benevolent in the beginning in their appeals to people's safety needs.

Slowly but surely, the people handover their rights and are shocked by the power the dictator "suddenly has."

When the chrome team was tightening their grips on chrome, people here hailed the move because some windows programs like anti-viruses, download managers and adware sideloaded extensions.

I like this.

We do keep giving power to some system because they "protect us" (Google and Apple in 2010) but there's always a chance that they'll stop caring once they don't need your support anymore.

Microsoft is also trying to buy our support by being benevolent, I wonder how long and if that will last.

Until the nanosecond they regain enough ground they’d lost when they missed both mobile and cloud.
