    They can’t possibly be doing this because consumers want it, so the real question is: why are they doing it?

    Follow the money

      Because they are techno-fascist terrorist organization that is part of a coup to take over the US government and this is intended to be one of the tools to aide them in their evil plans.

          If someone doesn’t believe it at this point then they’re being willfully ignorant. These assholes have openly said as much.
