re. bad idea
there are many bad ideas for end-users, which are great ideas for software and hardware vendors (perhaps you can never have a win-win, if one side of the 'deal' has the power to shift that balance, guess towards which solution).
Sorry for the bleeding obvious, you'd think that the product is meant to be great idea for... end user. Well, no, the product is merely a means to the end, the means being many end users, and the end is the great idea of greatER profits for software and hardware vendors. Nothing personal, just business :/
