I like how practical a lot of Asians are. This gave rise to WeChat where you can literally do almost anything you can think of -- calling for transport and paying people included.

This made it really easy for the Chinese gov to track people but in the end people value convenience more than potential surveillance state repercussions.

We as a programmers must learn to respect that and think in terms of what's convenient for our users -- and not what's a trendy tech or some such.
