If the stuff actually worked, people wouldn't mind, but inevitably that kid of relationship leads to bad technical decisions which leads to community rebellion which leads to parallel arguments where the arrogant company states they win the argument because they're the futuristic authority figure and when they say jump the community better ask how high or else, and the community states they win the argument because the companies technical decisions suck and they'll get abandoned well not today but maybe someday, and both sides yell really loud about their superiority in topics that the other side doesn't care about.
