      Because companies insist on it and when growth stops they’ll start to cannibalize their own company and charge more money for things that used to be free or fairly-priced until they price themselves out of the market entirely and die as a service.

      Yay, capitalism!

        Rather human psyche wants that, it’s scary to invest. There are still rare mom&pop stores\cafes which make sense economically for their owners. And there are individual artists.

        What is visible now is a bit like colonial companies, it will end, until the next such thing.

        “Capitalism” is a very variable thing.
