What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

I ain't reading all that.
You are angry asf and need to chill tf out, restating your points over and over doesn't make them true, but it does make you sound like an aggro troglodyte.
You need to back up your shit and learn to formulate actual arguments, not just arbitrary statements you keep repeating. Stop being an aggressively incorrect moron and start thinking.
Speak for yourself bruh.
Anyway, it's not very hard to understand:
Root access = control of device, control of device = ability to experiment. Ability to experiment = potential for tech literacy. Potential for tech literacy = tech literacy
Mac OS = locked down and dumbed down = tech illiteracy Chrome OS = Linux with chrome = tech literacy.
