> The overwhelming majority of users never had any kind of control

Uninterested is vastly different than unable, especially when that majority is still latently "able" to use some software that a knowledgeable-minority creates to Help Do The Thing.

The corporate goal is to block anyone else from providing users that control if/when the situation becomes intolerable enough for the majority to desire it.

Most people don't move away from their state of residence either, but we should be very concerned if someone floats a law stating that you are not permitted to leave without prior approval.
