This definitely seems like a little Stockholm syndrome. You see it also when it comes to doing a chargeback against a company that defrauded you. Inevitably someone will say "But, if you do a chargeback, the company will close your account and ban you!" These people have gotten to the point where the company has stolen their money, and they still want to continue doing business with them! A lot of simping for companies that don't deserve the affection.

It’s not just simple simping. Those companies have such large operations, with so little competition, that it’s hard to find an alternative.

What if you’re not a tech person at all and you can’t use Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Samsung, eBay. You’re screwed, cause the alternatives might as well be wizardry.
