Naw, those are free market capitalists your thinking of.

In my experience people who really use excel are always going to need excel.

Also in my experience excel runs great on Mac Laptops, which are so much better than any other laptop I’ve touched in the last 20 years. If you’ve tried their touchpads you’ll know what I mean. Total game changers for truly mobile computing working without a desk.

I wonder if it’s related to training on website comments, which often role the same trajectory.

I also wonder if this isn’t something that someone has “told” an LLM, and that now it’s just parroting it back. It all fits with my opinion of the AI craze.

I have the Chemex and a Mac.

The price of real (good) filters fits with the Macs unfortunately.
