They want to own (control) their device and not the other way around. I agree entirely with their philosophy. In fact, my first experience with this dark pattern was a floppy disk from CompuServ. Upon loading their application, my modem and hard drive lights starting blinking. I pulled the power cord, shredded the disk and never looked back. This dark pattern is replete throughout the tech industry and vanquishing it is very challenging.
