    But that highlights the spin these companies exploit through inconsistent or partial abuse. Like every Chrome or Windows update where someone can say ‘just jump through hoops X Y and Z’ or ‘it still works on my machine.’ The impact is softened and the backlash is robbed of momentum. Six months later the problem is enforced mercilessly, but all the Google results are outdated excuses and confusion.
