It's nationalism mixed up with marketing.

Nationalism works for domestic markets.

The association with quality manufacturing and precision helps abroad.

Very similar thing happens for "Made in Italy".

Judges and juries are expressions of society and accountable to it. They're not a black box.

Late-stage capitalist tech products left unchecked exploit human problems for profit.

If you cannot see the difference and the flaw in your argument I am afraid you're too far gone.

No, your reasoning is flawed: a judge or a jury is voted, appointed or selected through a process which is the result of centuries civilization, norms and legislation. As corrupt it might be in some cases, it is expression of mankind.

They are not a black box, they passed rigourous examinations and they stick to principles enshrined in constitutions and laws.

Technology, or better, the productization of it, is instead the result of the interest of very few powerful individuals or corporations and aggressive product market fit iterations.

The bullish discourse around the PMF loop says that this is good because it is better at solving people's problems. But after a few decades it is obvious there's a gigantic risk the process actually exploits people's problems instead of actually solving them.

zero.

It is a manifestation of the commoditization of Cloud Computing Interfaces.

Every provider offers a blob storage, kubernetes clusters, queues and what not.

I'd argue that covers 90% of SaaS needs.

> disrupting the seamless way Apple products work together

this defense argument seems really counter productive as it feels exactly the point of antitrust laws.

Just like disrupting the seamless way internet explorer worked together with Windows was exactly the point.

Also the "Pornography, in my iPhone?!" has meme potential.

That's exactly what a superintelligent AI would say...
