@merospit I feel like this response eats itself. In the first 'graph, the contention is that decreases in sales will lead to reverted changes. In the second, the contention is that anyone around would be unable to attribute the losses to models in use. And then finally, the current phase of enshittification is used to demonstrate that companies can decrease product quality with impunity.

So, kinda seems like these companies would be attracted to a "good enough" crap generator if it costs way less than people without losing business.

I'd also add that you don't have to be an idiot to be unable to measure the value of a product that actually sucks. In fact, most of the big cyber vendors have spent fortunes creating "metrics" that mean nothing for true efficacy. One can be forgiven for losing the plot amidst the forest of Gartner quadrants.
