Please don't assume what I wanna force or not. I don't need a new CPU for windows, but windows wants it. Similar with phones, I am forced to buy a glued brick each 3 years (2 years now, woohoo). And I don't need a "new video" each week from my favourite creator, one good video once in a while is ok for me. Carbon capture is not even working properly yet, but we already pushing it as a solution. Probably solution would be "it releases more CO2 in the end, but you are forced to buy it, and it would make great profit to people involved in it".

You're not forced if you use a more open ROM of Android, like LineageOS. You can even keep using Google apps. Many phone models will keep getting updates on custom ROMs years after their stock image does.

Installing LineageOS involves unlocking the bootloader and/or acquiring root, which will make several applications (mostly banking, but afaik some streaming apps as well) refuse to launch, because your phone now trips SafetyNet (which is "yet another thing I don't need, but have to pay for").

That's why I wrote that if you want to force people you should argue for it and not that you do want to. Please, don't accuse me of things I didn't write.

Personally, I don't think carbon capture will work very well either, but I don't see why my position should be more valid than kurzgesagts. Or why mine isn't propaganda, but theirs is.
