And most importantly some clients will not communicate that they are unhappy and just move on quietly. Especially for something like virtualization which is essentially a commodity.
That is why you always regulate the provider/seller (ie. the social media site) and not the consumption side. We already learned this in the war on drugs, prosecution of consumption has never really worked all that well.
If you put the parent in jail for 6 months and fine the company 1 million per user account, they for sure will start thinking real hard about fixing the problem.
I mean Apple even added a native feature to iMessage with full on tracking, exactly because of safety. Sure someone needs to send it manually but the whole point of Check-in (tracking someones progress home) is safety. Just too many shady blokes out on the street at night.
Sorry, why do you believe these entities have no intent nor goals? That's a very odd assumption to make.
As always, I highly recommend Manufacturing Consent, which well illustrates how to examine financial interests to determine the above. Propaganda does not require conspiracy nor explicit instructions on what messages to convey; it only requires a class of people produced from the same environment, aiming to reproduce that same environment.
Depending on you size, even just having some people from all the open source products on staff is probably cheaper anyway. And gives you pretty good control. And if it used to work the only one that can have broken the config is you, which means you can also fix it. Sure maybe you need to rollback a kernel update or whatever but in the end it's on you.
It kind of does though, because it means you can never trust the output to be correct. The error is a much bigger deal than it being correct in a specific case.
You can never trust the outputs of humans to be correct but we find ways of verifying and correcting mistakes. The same extra layer is needed for LLMs.
