This isn't choosing what's right for you. This is having no standards. Most of our society is like this when it comes to software for no good reason. Think how much better the world could be if people cared.
people have different value systems and different standards. no 1 thing is right if it's based on preference.
That's why those platforms still exists and why many of us still have to use some of them even if we don't want to. I don't want to use YouTube for example, but I have to, because creators won't switch to PeerTube. They prefer to be abused by a corporation than to try to change something.
Terminally online take.
Boy oh boy, tell me about how society would be better if people "had standards" about "software"

Thanks. A license is missing in your repository, but I'm sure you will add it eventually.
