I've seen it used to end discussions. People repeat the wisdom of the phrase without understanding what you just said.

Some are actually trying to bring company towns back. In some countries, Walmart pays their employees, in whole or in part, with gift cards.

I mostly agree with you, but it's often used as a phrase to shut down further discussion even when there could be an invisible third event that's the cause for the two seemingly unrelated events. It's gets over used by people who want to be quick to sound smart.

They're already on the way to doing that. The slow striping of worker's rights won't have a natural end until everyone but the elites are serfs.

I had a common usename and a common first 6 letters of the password. Then 3 numbers that were different from each forum and that was written down. Not great, but it would take some serious leaps of logic even if my system was compromised. I also took password generation more seriously if it was attached to a payment system, so things like Amazon, ebay or PayPal had much larger, more random passwords.

Non techies have two settings. Either everything is a virus or nothing is a virus.

Ease of use for the moderators and end users. How many user names and passwords would I have to keep track of before? The effort isn't much, but it adds up.

You are imposing a political view onto people who you have never talked to politics to for your own sake.
