People are certainly welcome to feel a lot of different ways, not trying to be prescriptive here. My parent asked: "what exactly do I gain by allowing Googlebot to crawl my sites?" and I was describing what I get out of it, in the hope that others might feel similarly.
For now open weight models are legal. Conceivably the government could claim that an open weight model "contained" forbidden information and simply ban it. We live in authoritarian times.
I can't see a practical world where the OS doesn't need to take control of window positioning in certain situations. As a core example, there is full screen. Minimize is another, but that doesn't have a clean analogue in the tiled universe.
There's a natural strong reaction folks have to window managers, because it forces you to mentally remap at such a foundational level.
I prefer tiled managers because the user offloads most responsibility. Open something and by default it uses as much space as is available. If you have a special need, you can float or resize, but the vast majority of cases it makes the right call.
At heart, it's offloading cognitive load. They're more predictable and require less faffing around.
I would bet money that most people who use CF now are already hosting their endpoints at a single provider. I don't think most people care until it actually becomes enough of a problem.
It's working too. All my friends stopped using Facebook for similar reasons. My feed went from a 24/7 pleasant reunion to a fetid swamp and now I also have stopped using it.
