Gregory's ServerInnovation for innovation's sake is a terrible scourge on modern products and services.
Constantly changing things to appear new and justifying an upgrade, trying to convince, cajole, or outright scare customers into throwing out the good old thing for the shiny new thing.
What happened to the Instant Pot? They got deep into debt to design a new version with loads of things nobody asked for and the old one still worked so nobody bought the new one and they filed for bankruptcy.

I have a Brother printer, it's great. I wanted a printer that prints (shocking, I know), they made a printer that prints. I don't need it to make a coffee while I wait for it to contact home and check I've paid my tithe to the king of magenta, or whatever. I just want a machine that takes blank paper and spits ink on it. I suppose one big factor that influenced me was their great support on Linux, damn thing just worked out of the box, meanwhile the previous one was a nightmare.
