I've just realized what this family of technologies is - it's an attack at capitalism.
That word is hated here, but it's generally a good thing, with one condition.
When things marketed are something possible to supply an instruction for and to teach the customers basics of telling good stuff from bad stuff, sort of good lightbulbs versus bad lightbulbs, good radio receiver versus bad one, not very deep knowledge, but high school understanding of electricity, mechanics, chemistry, stuff like that.
So most of all it's a family of technologies good for generating "something" that looks plausible for a person about things they themselves don't do. Meaning - deceiving laymen.
So, for the commie types, it's partially good news - it's their part of history finally, and partially bad news - cause the flood wall they were trying to break because they thought it spoiled the view is being finally broken from the other side by a stream of sewage.
Just a random passing thought.
