You are assuming that there's something bad about everything you believe being false. There's a fair amount of evidence that it's a good thing. EG religious people being happier an…

The idea of "sentience" here could be replaced with "a soul" or "magic thinking powers" or almost anything else. It's an undefinable concept.

For the same reason that there are already lots of markdown editors out there. Why didn't the they all use the first one that came out?

I think this is different in different countries. I use them a lot in the UK and the customer support has been excellent.

I hate to be pedantic[1], but: > HTML, Markdown, JSON, LaTeX, and many other standard formats, are just plain text. On this definition, Word and Excel are just (zipped) plain text …

Or in other words, they are sensible

No filter jug removes all the limescale in hard water areas. You still need a filter on the kettle

But that wouldn’t answer the question. Why is it not profitable to make good kettles? Also, you’re wrong. The people designing these kettles aren’t doing so to make more money for …

If a job description involves something you object to then you probably shouldn’t apply for the job, whatever it is

No, he said it couldn’t be made there, which seems about right
