> there's just no good reason to not screw people over as much and as often as possible, what'll they do ? Switch to someone who won't ? And who would that be ?
That argument flies in the face of basic economics.
The problem is that the people don't seem to care about being screwed. If they did, it would very profitable to provide the non-screwing, and lots of people would.
The optimist in me believes this is a just a problem of education, understanding, and risk-assessment (ie, the screwing is hidden to them). But even if we grant this, that turns out be a very hard problem to solve.
