Not sure I like the logic here. By labeling me as a hobbyist, you're suggesting that I shouldn't be surprised businesses ignore my needs because I'm not a "real" consumer? In my world any paying customer buying and using a product was considered a consumer of it. I probably spend more money on tech than the average user. Shouldn't make me part of some core "power user" sub-demographic? I used to build computers. I design and program embedded systems. I'm constantly purchasing/using all sorts of tech both at work and at home. But you're suggesting stuff like this is somehow "not for me"? I can do all of this on on Windows. I can do all of this on Linux. The only place I can't seem to use these features is on Apple product. Cars are used in many different ways. Some people use them to get to work. Some people work on them themselves, soup them up, restore them, etc. GM doesn't seem to have a problem catering to all of these crowds simultaneously. Labeling this as a hobbyist problem just seems like handwaving to explain why I shouldn't be alarmed at the trend of taking our ability to use and control our computers away from us. Is this just Apple apologism, or do you think it's ok when companies generally take away our ability to own and repair the products we purchase?
