The "self-importance" problem is truly endemic today, to the point that it embodies some kind of natural law. It is easier to extract value from users if you subjugate them.

For instance I find it absurd that to use a VR headset - effectively no more than a gaming peripheral, along the lines of a TrackIR but fancier - I need to buy in to several software "markets", create several accounts, submit to installing invasive spyware on my machine, and endure regular multi-gigabyte forced updates that don't improve the experience at all. It's completely out of proportion.
