As do people. Which ends up weakening copyright even further as it becomes a law everyone ignores, on the level of speeding or jaywalking. The same knock-on effects as Prohibition, we become a nation of scofflaws.
People don't know copyright law. They think they do and are alright with the construct they made up in their heads. But they don't actually know what it says and does and means, otherwise they'd hate it much more.

This is also why companies have slowed down on enforcing it too much: if people actually understood copyright, there would be too much pushback.
I'm seeing a lot of posts from people discussing everything and anything other than whether or not the application is fit for purpose and does what it's claiming it does.
>there's a famous video of an interviewer asking people on the street ca. 1997 whether they would want a mobile phone. So not even a smartphone, just a mobile phone. The answer was overwhelmingly negative.
So people didn't want to be walking around with a tether that allowed the whole world to call them where ever they were? Le Shock!
Now if they'd asked people if they'd like a small portable computer they could keep in touch with friends and read books, play games, play music and movies on where ever they went which also made phone calls. I suspect the answer might have been different.
What familiarity? Microsoft has changed the look and feel of the OS to the point that it no longer retains that familiarity from version to version.
