    There's also the fact that people have been taught for their jobs, at university or in training, to use enterprise software like MS Office, Adobe products, Oracle, Visual Studio, etc. No one wants to learn new stuff for their job if they don't have to.

      Sure, whatever, let your boss pay for it, I don't care. Most people don't use Twitter / Threads / Mastodon professionally though in any which capacity, I care about when it's the public that's in there somehow which is definitely the case when you argue for selling all your school kids data to Microsoft because you figure the best possible option is to just buy Teams.

      Maybe it's a pet peeve, but there's an infuriating ignorance among many people who by all means should know better to even engage with alternative ideas here in these topics I feel.
