Why is it sad that people enjoy a thing? They enjoy it because it works and is less of a pain in the vast majority of cases. That is not sad, that is a good thing.


It's sad because there are people who also hate it while they don't really have an option to use a product that fits them. Unless of course one is advised to buy Lada or Mustang 69. People generally like apps that switch on the lights in the living room. Also they like to keep still on slowly moving escalator (yes even down), because it looks that a biggest joy for a consumer is to be able to lose any tactile and physical agency, presumably to conserve their energy that they so badly lack.

For the record, I hate electric windows, because of insensitivity of the button, it's almost impossible to open the window by few millimeters only (just to allow air circulation to avoid condensation on windows). Or in winter if it freezes to the frame, I want to be able to open without a need of warming it up first. Or not to buy the entire lifting mechanism because a 2$ plastic piece brakes inside. I understand the few uses of electrical window, but those can simply be fixed by avoiding farting inside a car, or politely asking the culprit to open their window themselves.
