Is this trying to frame manufacturing 24/7 as nefarious? Third shift exists at what pitiful manufacturing remains in the US, but you never hear things like “ford allegedly running overnight shifts to build new f150s, a requirement for the hogs to drive to McDonald’s”.
Cars get hot and break in the summer all of the time, but just WAIT until these things see their first winter. Salt, potholes, snow, ice, and cold.
And they’ll do it like Tumblr too. Not getting rid of actual NSFW content, just banning anything that references anything non-Cis or mentions trans people.
A coworker has an enormous 7 seat affront to pedestrian safety that carries him and two car seats. 65 tons of American pride!
People who bought it figured out all the novelties, tried it once, then put it away. People who didn’t buy one never cared in the first place.
I’m actually a huge proponent of VR and I fully accept that it isn’t broadly appealing enough for mass adoption. It makes a lot of people sick, it can be uncomfortable to wear, and what’s out there to play may not be what everyone wants. The selling point of this headset was that it was “AR”, but nobody wanted that. Being able to put my text messages on the wall and walk around the room actively detracts from the world around me. Once the novelty wears off, you realize it’s an inconvenience as opposed to just opening your phone.
Like all things apple, the gaming side of it is lackluster at best, and that’s the only thing VR is really good for. I’ve spent 100s of hours VR Sim racing with friends, exploring worlds in VR chat, watching movies, and playing shooter games. My headset is old, but it still works fantastically at convincing me it’s real life, even with narrow FOV. If you can’t offer what even a basic windows mixed reality headset 6 years ago could for literally 12x the price, it’s honestly pathetic.
Peak levels of scarcity not influencing value. They’re literally admitting these things are so cheap to manufacture that they can build all of them to 100% yet sell them at, Let’s say 60% until you pay them more.

I would argue this is just people who already wanted excuses to do terrible things offloading the responsibility to the thing they invented to do terrible things. Absolution of blame for lack of a better word.
As @Yeat said in another comment, if the people (you know, real sentient beings that make decisions) wanted, they could just unplug it. —
Back in the day there was a key that you turn and starts your car. Easy to steal. So manufacturers created keys with 4 rows of pins in the ignition. Hard to steal if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Then they moved to inductive transponder keys. Also not really an issue, but not as reliable as the older style keys.
Then some sick fucks said “why not make the transponder on the FUCKING KEY FOB” instead of the car itself which has a giant lead acid battery with millions of amp hours and here we are
