Agree and disagree: the pressure on unity worked, and Sonos and, IIRC on Google's "federated cohorts" idea.

But often people try to project their opinions onto "the people" and predict they will rise up, and there's probably 100 predictions in comment sections that are completely spurious to every one that actually happens

So I'm not sure, but if I had to guess this one is a rare case where there may be real prospect of backlash.
