Prior ignorance of said policy (which is standard for most users), for one.

Is this tucked away in the Terms/Privacy policy? If so, it might be because they did not read the policy.

Figure 2. showing the "common style" is something I've never used or seen before.

What is the "right" way? Perhaps it is to use style from both of these extreme examples and write code that is easy to read and edit for the person that is working with it.

Or perhaps the right way is to never imply the way you are doing things is the only correct way and then try to pass it on as facts?

Define "improve", I myself do not see changing the way one behaves to fit some socially accepted standard as improvement of any kind whatsoever.

By the way, this question is off-topic here, please use reddit.

"Out of concern for my privacy I have decided to switch to a phone that has an abandoned OS and I type messages to my wife using WhatsApp"

seriously?

> to a phone that has an abandoned OS

Huh, how abandoned is it really?

That's because it is incredibly pompous, condescending and little more than anonymous "blog posts" that serve as a preview/advertisement for a product they are peddling.

"What if we told you that there is a game: (...)" "Let’s call this the ultimate game: your real life."

Thanks for this golden nugget of knowledge, buddy.
