There is a french expression that kind of describes the feeling: "une fuite en avant", which can be translated as "a headlong flight forward", to describe an escape from the problem by blindly rushing ever forward. It seems like the fear of missing out on a possible profit has every tech-related company and their dog rush into the latest trends, without thinking about the mid to long term consequences of their choices. It doesn't matter if it is about subscription models for everything, abusive private data gathering, or, more worryingly, unrestricted AI-everything. Their competitors might be doing it, so they have to do it preemptively. Very much similar to the Cold-War arms race. All in all, it goes nicely hand in hand with an other expression: "Après moi, le déluge", literally translating to "After me, the floods", or, as we say in English: Consequences be damned.
