They've put a lot of work into locking people into an ecosystem. To pick one example, if you've got a Logic project you want someone to be able to edit, even if you manage to migrate it with all of the required stuff, they're still going to need a Mac to open it.

Voting for a better third party in our current system unfortunately just makes it more likely that the worse of the two genocidal maniacs becomes the president instead.
Owen Morgan has been sounding the alarm about this guy for ages. Feels a bit weird to see his name showing up outside of Owen's channel. Glad other people seem to be aware of him, though.
There's a rail station in my neighborhood (in the middle of the freeway that also runs through my neighborhood, fucking awesome thanks California) that has some five-story apartment buildings near it, but the nearest grocer is 1.7 miles away. It would literally be faster to walk to the train station, take the train to the city, get your groceries, and then take the train back than to walk to the one that's actually close. Whose fucking idea was this?
This is basically the second plot arc of Everything You Know Is Wrong by Weird Al Yankovic.
Well, I'm glad you at least recognize that your solution to bigotry is not practical. I agree that it's a moral ideal, but morality to my mind depends at least as much on effect as intention, which is where practicality comes in, and the fact that showing "unearned compassion" to bigots, at least in the way I typically seem to see that interpreted, just emboldens them and makes life worse for everyone else. The most extreme example of this is, as alluded to, Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler, but we see the same thing play out on a smaller scale frequently.
Most people who discuss morality with any frequency will probably tell you that whether or not you know the outcome of an action ahead of time does impact its morality. So I would argue, because we know that showing bigots "unearned compassion" rather than societally refusing to tolerate their behavior invariably has a net negative impact on those who are the targets of their bigotry, that would render it not the moral ideal we might like it to be.
Please observe the paradox of tolerance.
I think they count it because their language compounds the adjective together with the noun, so "powdery snow" is one word, "icy snow" is another, "wet snow" is yet another, etc. At least, that's what I've read in past discussions where this has come up. I don't speak Inuit. Hell, as an American, statistically on average I speak less than one language.

is there a reason why artificial scarcity is good?

That's true, but I think people would be less upset if they were actually running it, you know? Like I fell off like legit six or seven years ago when there was a promised Heavy Update 2, and I came back a few months ago to find that that was still MIA. And that kind of inaction is kind of why fans find themselves making these kinds of projects in the first place. So this does still feel hypocritical, even if they are entirely within their rights to do it.
