I see what you're saying. I do agree that people should have the opportunity to be educated to at least a baseline understanding of some things. If for nothing else but to avoid being scammed.

I mean ideally I would just like these companies to be held responsible for doing shady stuff behind the scenes, I don't think having easy to understand UIs (and as a result, a bit obfuscated from what's actually happening) and such have to be a bad thing. But maybe it's too idealistic to want that and expect companies to actually be held accountable if the obfuscation is hiding bad stuff
