I am deeply bothered by this idea that you suggest and supposedly hold yourself. It essentially "presumes malice" instead of assuming ignorance. To believe that their desire is to produce user-hobbling products is to assume that somehow there is a conspiracy of executives at a company whose explicit policy is to do harm. That somehow no one has revealed this fact, their board has been somehow complicit in this direction as revealed to them by executives, and that they sit in these, perhaps smoke-filled, board-rooms discussing how they can dumb down their products or harm the general public. That's insane, you're insane, and your philosophy is far and above more cynical than anyone's need be.
