It’s an excuse to keep your product in the news/review cycle. You can’t just create a useful product and leave it at that. You have to constantly change shit so people are constantly talking about it. Why do you think iPhone keep switching between rounded and square edges? It’s not because one style is better then the other. It’s so reviewers have something to talk about. It’s why commercial OSes keep getting features no one asked for. It’s why car and truck bodies keep changing even though body lines have no effect on driveability.
Highlighting the importance of individualism even in communitarian beliefs.
You must have your taste so that you know what you need and want genuinely. Rather than new emotions being better. This is important to acknowledge as there will always be thoughts of neighbor has it better due to just differences.
You’d have a point, except in the case of Operating Systems, one of the reasons I bailed on Mac was the reduction in customization of the desktop. They kept removing the colors in favor of a safe for business grayscale.
In the case of trucks, I’d rather have the same grill be used for 20 years so I can cheaply get a replacement from the junkyard if I need one. I’m so frustrated by the commercial options, I’m building a light duty 80’s C10 for my daily. Easy to work on, easy to fix, parts are cheap.
Just an excuse to charge more for them. Cant think of any useful reason to have a screen on the case when you have your phone with you.
