At this point it's easier to list things that aren't being "enshittified".
The easiest ways for a corporation to increase profits in the short term is to increase prices, cut staff, reduce quality control, sell ad space or a combination of those. All of these result in inferior products.
The problem with that is the list becomes outdated as more and more companies embrace the process. Specific examples are what we need.
It isn't really a choice, so much as it is a necessity within Capitalism as competition forces Rates of Profit down ovrr time. Putting individual companies on blast for it won't fix the problem itself.
