I also felt like the author of the article ignorantly weaponized the name to make something completely mundane sound like a bad thing. They totally stomped right into the corporate moustrap while doing so. Why not call all app stores something like “corporate single source installation” or “[Microsoft/google/apple] assisted installation”? Maybe someone will write an article on the dangers of that.

Also, I don’t give a shit about TikTok. I just don’t like the fact that everything is capitalized on to make the world a shittier place so someone can collect a few extra gold coins.
