"User-hostile design" isn't just ads and hard-to-find cancel buttons.
App devs have learned they don't profit from adding features users say they want—they make money by analyzing usage patterns, then adding features to maximize "engagement" (YOUR time/energy spent in the app). That's user-hostile.

1/ Indirect costs, overhead and grants - let's talk about it.
When the government issues a grant to an NGO or university to deliver some aid, or undertake some research, it wants to ensure value for money.
The funds being used are taxpayer dollars and so it's important they're used well.

"that would appear to be the real moral of this story: Airplane manufacturing is no different from mortgage lending or insulin distribution or make-believe blood analyzing software—another cash cow for the one percent, bound inexorably for the slaughterhouse."
Excellent in-depth article about the enshittification of Boeing. With the impending bonfire of regulations in the US, this may be where the US as a whole is heading.
