Tech folks love to put questions the way "what if someone can own you via this thing", and normies intuitively defend against that - they feel the implication that they can be owned and not know it is an insult, while it's just truth. They also irrationally think that a system allowing to own people is a two-edged sword while it isn't, they kinda feel empowered by complexity they don't know. A bit like people not having a B52 plane feel awe before it and the ordnance it can drop.
However, if you put the question like this, what happens with all those pyramids of crap when they are not maintained anymore, it may work.
