thankfully it's usually the other way around: the glass is opaque and only transparent with power. So you don't need to worry about an ill-timed power outage.
And even if open source doesn't fit their business model for any reason, there should be regulations that force these companies to open source everything in any situation that they stop offering support.
wait, there's a way out? I bought another pc for nothing
I had premium up until a year ago, but I can't recommend it anymore after their purchase.
Choose open source, people.

The only time I saw a data breach changing user behavior was with LastPass scandal last year. Unless it's literally the people's bank account passwords that's at stake, I don't think most would care at all.
I agree, regulation - either enforced by the platform or authorities - may as well be the only way.
it's a social network. Some people do post things related to health and fitness, and it's another gold mine of private data for ad targeting, so from a business perspective it makes sense to have features that integrate Instagram with these health and fitness gadgets.
This list is a summary of the data they may collect. Using these apps don't mean you're handing all this info automatically. Most of these are actually voluntarily shared e.g. when the user connects a fitness app to it; or actively requested e.g. when they make use of location sharing in the in-app chat.
The more in-app functionality a user makes use of, the more data they'll hoard about that user.
They're not permissions, they're the types of data that may be collected. Every popular closed source app has a similar obscene list of private data they may collect, but in most cases it's the user that chooses to provide that kind of information voluntarily anyways.
I don't think these are permissions, just a list of collected data categories. Google Play's equivalent is the "Data Safety" section and lists the data collected, shared with third parties, and security practices in use. Basically just a more readable privacy policy, but agreeing to that by installing the app does not grant the app with the equivalent permissions automatically.
possibly never going to happen
"Desktop OS" also counts laptops. Unless people are working from their smartphones, I don't think desktop is collapsing at all.
