Just do a little bit of research into the fuel efficiency of various sized vehicles, the correlation is not direct and some larger vehicles get better gas mileage than smaller vehicles strictly due to efficiency. A small inefficient motor and a large efficient motor may yield the same mpg, but the large efficient motor is extracting more power from the same fuel source. And that's not even getting into diesel versus gasoline.....

Well when Karen asks for the 40th time how to add a new user to the system, Karen's getting referred to the documentation.

I believe the op literally said this doesn't apply to everything, and cited the Bluetooth speaker incident. I'm not sure what broader subject you are applying ops point to but carry on! You are free to install all the software on your phone you want, you do you, but I believe ops point remains. There are a huge number of devices that require no app to function, yet manufacturers are requiring an app, often requesting permissions completely unrelated to the purpose of the device. There is very little reason for this aside from information gathering.

I don't believe a Bluetooth speaker needs an elaborate application to work, the functionality of a Bluetooth speaker is complete without an app. I'll gladly miss out so rando sketchy companies do not get more than they deserve to know. You do you though

Yeah, if you tend to use your servers for pretty vanilla uses you may not have encountered it much. Once you get into the deep end, it gets deep quick.

No that's the case in the US too. I never ask why my employee wants time off, I don't need to know any more about their personal lives, they tell me too much already...

Once you have lived through library dependency hell, you care

And who the f wants recurring payment reminders during gameplay...
