When do we stop this instinctive response of "well you can still do it in an only slightly convoluted way" everytime a corporate does something bad.

Windows added ads - well you can disable them, if you don't like it.

Chrome brought up mv3 - well you can still use mv2, it is only optional.

Reddit locking subreddits behind login wall - well there's always old.reddit

Android moving everything to playstore - there's always FDroid.

How many of these are still true and for how long?

If someone's country is a dictatorship, it doesn't help to tell them that there are 100 other democratic countries, just move. Not everyone can emigrate or want to emigrate for any number of reasons.
