That's mostly prevalent in third-world countries like Brazil. I work for a fintech-turned-bank here and the biggest problem we have to deal with is fraudulent actions made by scammers who got access to users' accounts via social engineering. Outsiders don't know how prevalent scamming is in Brazil and how much is spent/lost trying to fight them and how that shapes the security vs convenience landscape. For example:
- I can't transfer a single cent if I didn't had my face and documents scanned after installing the bank app.
- I can't have the same bank account logged in two of my devices at the same time, all banks require you to use an account on a "verified" device (previous point).
- If I want to use a desktop to access my bank account, I have to either install a desktop client provided by the bank or be limited to just checking my balance. Some banks doesn't even allow you to log in if you don't have a "verified" device for doing 2FA.
I am very sure my higher ups are cheering with these news, even though it solves none of the problems.
Taking just the naming into account or listing other things with milk in their name is missing the point. Those are not sold as direct competition to dairy milk. Looking up how those nut milks are made, we might as well call it almond juice ou pecan juice. If almond milk is to be sold as an alternative to cow milk, and most importantly marketed as such, then butter can be sold as an alternative jelly for people with diabetes.
For me it's a big win. SV art style is unique and feels like it came from Eric's heart. For me the improvements are clear if compared to SV, but the style is the same. And being able to enjoy the same art style in a somewhat different context is exciting.
This already happened. The Federal Police uncovered that Brazilian company JBS, the largest meat processing company in the world[0], was selling rotten beef and minced meat mixed with minced cardboard[1][2]. People didn't noticed until news came in.
MBR's website[0], album covers[1] and whole branding are such a throwback and amazing works of art. I personally recommend his retro music covers[2], genially bundled under the name WAREZ.
>The only bit I will agree with is that addiction is not caused by the drug itself, and is typically the result of childhood trauma.
Traumatic experiences plays a big role on addiction, but purely chemical addiction should still be factored in. Heroine is extremely addictive not just because of traumatic experiences, but because it induces very high dopamine releases.

If I remember correctly, Mozilla didn't want to support video DRM but ended up adding it to Firefox[0] in fear of losing marketshare because Netflix required DRM video playback[1].
Today's browsers are just trying to keep up with whatever Chrome decides to adopt.
