"They did and too few people said yes." There's the answer. And the response? "Tough shit", we'll take away that choice granularly. For our own good, apparently. Moz has been giving tough shit with caveats for

Where governments and corporations are concerned, the "why" condenses down to two simple answers: commercialization(profit) or weaponization(control)... it is easily conceivable that both will result over time. I hope Tor & EF
