Companies are part of society and we have a rule-based society.

Imagine a society that had rules on the designs of haircuts, and punishments to enforce those rules.

You don't need punishments to be fair. You can just shame people on TV instead[1].

Except people aren’t addicted to haircuts and presumably don’t spend 8 hours a day staring at their hair in the mirror.

I should be able to stare at my phone 8 hours a day without government interference if I want to. No one is holding me at gunpoint. It's my phone and it doesn't hurt anyone else.

Nobody is holding you or other addicts at gunpoint to stop that, so what are you complaining about?

While removing infinite scrolling would somehow prevent that?
