    I wonder if the two companies worship the same evil deity or something, jeeze…

    All companies worship the same evil diety: Capital.

    I’m not even joking. Unrestrained search for more capital is all that drives it. We’re at the point in capitalism where markets have been effectively “captured” and there is no more market to milk. The only way to further milk it is to “enshittify” it by increasingly bleeding the customers, in hopes that the customers you lose will be offset by your increased profits.
