You're right that it's a matter of incentives, but it's because of cost not revenue.

It's bloated not because of a sneaky plan to include revenue generation. It's cheaper to make it bloated because quality is costly. They can externalize costs to users and nobody cares.

That's simply not true.

Another way to frame that question is: Should we remove the right for people to enter into such contracts?

Nobody deserves to be abused.

This is true, but "treat their customers ok" goes a long way. When everybody else severely abuses their customers, the one company that doesn't generates a lot of goodwill.

People routinely overestimate how much can get done in 5 minutes. I ran a live coding challenge at our company's booth at a language conference. 5 simple problems, how many can you do in 5 minutes? We had a PC with IDE open and ready to go, function signatures pre-written with empty bodies, unit tests running to color an icon red/green next to your function. The first problem was return "hello world". They were things covered by the standard library like reverse a list, or filter, or map. Everybody thought it would be too easy.

Nobody could get more than 3 of them. Most people were shocked that 5 minutes was up already. My coworker who did interviews for our company was shaken that he had been judging applicants too harshly after he couldn't finish.

They were trivial problems. But 5 minutes is a very short amount of time.

That's exactly how I do it. Makes the most sense to me.

It's common for non-lawyers to write terms and conditions, and other contracts.

Press releases are lies by default.

The parent was talking about different passwords, not different emails. But I'm curious, what does it mean for a company to consolidate accounts? How would that be done to your separate accounts automatically, and what trouble does it cause? And what is the normal case where people have multiple accounts all with the same email?

I just don't understand the circumstance you're describing.

Retribution for acting out of line with those who have this sanction power.
