of these cases fall under the "Got Lemons? make lemonade"
approach. So
I believe you've mischaracterised the community.
Those are all examples of building complexity into the infrastructure so
that the app can maintain the fantasy that the world is flat. Personally
I would rather see the Lemons turned into a nice desert than squeezed
and watered down.
