I'm no expert but seems to me your country (Germany) has long been in front on these issues, you have a strong green party and activists since the 70'. But hidden forces were and are nevertheless still looming, see the automobile

I respect John Gruber but on this one I find it a bit too easy to lash-out (rightly or wrongly) on Jony Ive only when the man stepped-out of his job at Apple. It would have been a bit more courageous to have said these things when he was st
