I get you

Drives me even more insane when they actively complain about losing access to something, or not having it available offline, and do nothing about it

Like, here's the super simple solution, just take it!

But they won't sacrifice a tiny bit of their habit to break free. They'll keep on whining about the world and not doing anything, even when they are directed to it with the most simple, grandma-style guidance.

They can't really perceive what is being done to them. They can notice something, but can't quite put it all together.

Voices like EFF, OpenRightsGroup, FSC, etc, need to be heard and made understandable by normal people, news and government.
