These companies have correctly figured out that customers will still give them money, even if they provide no customer support, are actively hostile to their customers, and only respond to lawsuits. Such a weird timeline we are on! People willingly do business with companies who are actively against them.

Sometimes you don't get a choice, which is even more frustrating.

We got an admittedly very good deal to switch cell carriers. Part of that deal was receiving a debit card with my phone's trade in value loaded. That card turned out to be digital. I put it on my phone without thinking too much of it. However, given my lack of experience with Apple Pay, I didn't realize that I now didn't have access to my own card number. When I try to use the debit card, I am asked for a PIN that I've never been given an option to set up. When I call the card provider, the automated system demands a card number. Which I don't have.

Granted, it was my ignorance as a user that is responsible for some of this but it's pretty clear that the lack of access and support is intentional.

Ryanair admittedly wins on price and regulatory setup in EU provides guarantees that planes are safe.

Yes, Ryanair stole 100 euro from me once, but if next flight is 50 to 250 euro cheaper than competition...

I did some big projects motivated entirely by spite (project was overall helpful, but I would not do this if someone would be less nasty). But I still would use Ryanair.
