Not sure where you get that claim from. Even here, in the Netherlands, where the housing market is through the roof, it's not that expensive to own a basic house (maybe it would be in Amsterdam but that's far from the average european city experience)
Unless "basic" for you means 4 bedrooms in the city center.
Because forking a buggy suite isn't always the best choice? If they have the ressources, and they do, making their own is best for everyone. More choices.
Yeah, considering it is not impossible to geoblock per instance, they could.

Privacy and security are two different things. A public WiFi is safe, I never said it is private. I actually said a VPN helps with the privacy issues in my following replies.

You underestimate the strength of the 3rd Reich. It was something.
No country on Earth can hold its own if the rest of the world bands against it. If the US go ballistic, they'll fall.

Oh yes, I am so threatened. You got me.
If you have a source for this (and by that, I mean a source on the rate of cars bursting into flames in China vs in other countries), then I'm interested.
But most likely you're pulling this out of your ass, and your only reasoning is "cheaper = shit quality".
