Definitely relevant for, say, SCADA controls with terrible security.
Sigh. There's another conversation I had on here that went similar to this one. Basically, a guy was saying, "the tough road I took to get to my position is what made me who I am" which is perhaps literally true but also trash. There is always a way you could have gotten to where you are today, or indeed even a better place, with less hardship. If you rubbed a lamp and a genie asked if you wanted to change anything about your past, saying "no I'm perfectly happy with who I am today" is a brazen lie and about the stupidest thing you could do. You have no regrets? You don't want to be a better person? The hell is wrong with you?
Likewise, why want hardship for your children just for the sake of hardship? They could learn without hardship just as well, though you may not be smart enough to figure out how.
Everyone has heard (or... most people) about a lot of the clever Apple shortcuts, but they are intensely not discoverable. People still need to go out of their way to learn them. It's just it's Apple, so no one cares.

This is still relevant to his concern, but from the other end. They might be making the labor artificially scarce to increase pay.
He also missed #4. Cat bites you because it wants pets.
