like I went to taco bell and they didn't even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don't get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

Also everything breaks in five years at best. Doesn't matter how much you spend, basically everything is shit quality minimum viable products.

I also think there's a general lack of QA. Whether it's a bug or a feature, they're trying to push things out so fast now that shit breaks even if they don't intentionally plan obsolescence.

Planned obsolescence is definitely a modern travesty though. It really ought to be illegal
