Can we generalize this point to the idea that the user might want to manage the complexity level of products?
It's great to have the fully-integrated television that can be controlled by a phone app. This may seem great, until the spyware implications come to mind.
In a similar vein, I like all of the gadgetry on the recent car purchase. The sensors are nice; we can all back in an "park tactically" like a pro with these rear cameras.
But part of me longs for a purely analog chariot with 1960s-level tech that, sure, requires more skill on my part to operate, but I'm OK with that.
This invites the question: if there were a market for a brand new, but de-gunked car, could it even be legally built? Would there be a market? Why not?
