Well probably idk. It’s at least laziness of devs that decided not to add an opt-out toggle. But that’s already enshittification to some degree
Not having an opt-out toggle pisses me off
Well, there is actually. You just have to be knowledgable enough to use it. What I am unclear on is why so many die hard “no non-free firmware” advocates have hardware that requires non-free firmware.
I am assuming the problem is that people have hardware that will cause non-free firmware to be downloaded and installed against their wishes. Because, if they do not own such hardware, no non-free firmware will be installed and therefore I do not see a problem. Unless of course what bothers people is that others are able to easily install a working system. I would not want to accuse anybody of such bad behaviour.
Insisting on worse experiences on others to further your own politics is not politics I personally support.
You know what probably pisses other people off? Finally deciding to install Debian and then finding that it does not run on their hardware.
I get not being a fan but no toggle switch. But in this case it literally isn’t “enshittification”. Is it anti choice? Yes. Is it enshittification? No. Enshittification does not just mean “thing I don’t like”.
Here is a quote that describes what enshittification is:

I guess I used a different meaning then. I meant “product’s loss of quality for no justified reason”
Fair. But in that case best use a more appropriate word.
I wish I could. My English knowledge is still not perfect unfortunately
It’s ok. I would go with “user hostile” in this case.
