You mean to be sarcastic, but there's a good chance it may. When I was recovering from my first marriage, during which I was pretty heavily gaslit, having rational, analytical assessments of my wife's behavior by third parties was actually really helpful for me to recover.
His wife has no doubt spent years of her life being gaslit as well, being conditioned to doubt her assessments of what's normal and to feel guilty for suspecting him, for resenting him, for wanting something better. I doubt she'll ever read what I wrote, but there's a non-zero chance it would be helpful to have my take on it.
This feels like an arbitrary level of abstraction for how much control a user should have. When you buy a phone, you're buying a combination of components designed and paired for that manufacturer's software. Can the user potentially replace that software? Sure, but should they be expected to?
If they just wanted hardware, they could buy their own and piece something together, if we're exploring those kinds of hypotheticals. But buying an Apple or Android device is a different choice and I think, within that context, a user should be able to run the software they want.
I think it is more a case of, at least provide the option to have another OS. Chances are that nobody else will be able to make it work but having it closed off before even getting a chance to try feels a little unfair to those that buy the hardware.

Not the gp, but from my own experience: some business use out-of-the-box online shop software that is not very good. I wouldn't say "most" but, if you're buying some particular niche products, it becomes true. Slow pages, abysmal usability... one pet peeve is that they offer a brand filter in the left column with checkboxes. I want to select three brands and, every time I tick the checkbox, the page is reloaded. Reloading is painfully slow, so I need one minute to get to the search. If I want to do several searches, it's too much time.
Also, at least in Spain, some delivery companies are awful. I have a package delivered to a convenience store right now. They refuse to give it to me because I have no delivery key. The courier didn't send it to me. I try to get assistance in their web... and they ask me the key that I want them to give me. Nice, huh?
I asked for a refund to the shop. They have ghosted me in the chat, their return form doesn't work. Their email addresses are no-reply. The contact form doesn't work either. Now I need to wait until Monday to phone them.
I know the shop is legit. They're just woefully incompetent and don't know they are or think that's the way things work.
For cheap and not too expensive products, Amazon just works. No "but I went to your house and there was nobody there" bullshit. No questions return policy.
I don't understand why they need to "substantiate" their opinion, but the commenter they're replying to wouldn't need to substantiate their anecdotal evidence. They can "literally" claim anything.
I do think Mindless2112's experience is common with larger businesses, making the BBB potentially more effective in those cases than online review sites like Google or Yelp. Also, do those sites send complaint letters? I don't know.
There is a miles of difference between providing one specific claim based on experience that does not claim that this happens with all businesses. Vs the other claim that BBB complaints doesn't work and is no more than a glorified lists in general.

I assume it's being tracked elsewhere. But not here.
Just to clarify -- we already knew about the washing, right? But this refers to the specific mechanism where the blood vessels contract to cause the washing?
And to further qualify the conclusion, the research was done in mice so it's premature to say whether or not human brains operate identically. (Mammalian anatomy between species is often similar, but just as often is found to be different in unexpected ways.)
Correction: Bedrock is not freemium. There's also nothing wrong with Bedrock. It allows for cross-platform play. The minecoins/purchases are available in the menus, but they're never pushed in-game. The experience is very similar to Java.
Also, Java and Bedrock both have Realms (the managed "server" option you referred to).
