RFC8890 The Internet Is For End Users is a beautifully staked position that should inform & guide other works. The open web & JSON endpoints have a strong democratizing strength, that the user-agent/browser makes real every day with extensions & userscripts.
The industrial purposes of machines ought be secondary to a holistic ability of humans to possess & work the machines around them. We can iterate & change & evolve the world as people, as opposed to having it shaped & formed to trap us inside. There's efforts like Malleable Systems Collective whose central purpose is this adaptability, this ability to to shape systems. It feels like a spiritual calling to me, like a semi-invosible battle we are all in to enable or suppress human will.
