To my understanding, doing that wouldn't be helpful due to hard technical limits that can't be reconciled. Most window chrome themes are Aurora themes, which don't play nice with HiDPI, and to change that they'd need to be rewritten as C++ themes (like the default Breeze theme is), which is beyond the capabilities of most people publishing themes.
I remember excitedly switching to a Nexus 5X and then going back to my old iPhone a few months later because every app felt like a bad port of the ”original” iPhone app.
Capitalism, essentially. Companies can make more money from centralized control over systems than from truly distributed systems, and customers are suckers for the simplicity of delegating their needs to single providers.
The reason Google bought and destroyed dejanews.com, for example (try visiting that site) was to weaken one of the distributed sources of competition. Similar for RSS.
It doesn't really matter where I live. In any case, "worksforme" ia not a solution.
We are discussing a supposedly global standard, which should work and be better for everyone, including Russia, China, Iran, everyone.
You know, Western politicians usually have exactly the same desires as their authoritarian Eastern counterparts, they are just unable to express them publicly. But hey, ipv6 is a niche problem discussed only by geeks, they don't actually have to say anything publicly about it, they can just silently sabotage its implementation.
China obviously has a state security service, but it doesn't really matter, I used FSB as a generic term for a law enforcement agency which tells ISPs what to do.
Nobody said "worksforme." It is a global standard, that does work for everyone, just not for every single use case like with telecoms and FSBalikes. It being a sidegrade in some areas does not negate the overall improvement.
