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 have user-facing folder structures on every iOS device I own. What exactly is the extent of your personal experience using iOS?
My experience with iOS devices is mostly non-jailbroken devices, where the file system is not accessible.
A very limited scope of the filesystem instead of exposing the whole thing. Android does the same thing, and so does every system that doesn't allow the user to have root access.
Ohh…the files are in the computer
Not trying to be rude but the files app is absolutely not giving you anything close to full access to your devices file system. It's an abstraction over the actual file system if anything.
Yeah there's a lot more visible just by connecting via USB but it's still not good.
Thats already more effort than most people will put forth
