It's pretty great as long as it doesn't evolve into them no longer printing the cards and requiring use of their app, consequently on one of their approved OSes.

I mean yes but that is a case of the slippery slope fallacy: the existence of a future possible decision does not affect whether a current decision is a good one.

If they try to move in that direction, we can protest it then. Denying ourselves a useful capability now doesn't stop it from happening anyway, nor make it more likely.

    When a pattern is repeated many times, it is not a fallacy to recognize that pattern at the begining.

    If I see a tiger crotched in the bushes, is it a fallacy to gather my children and head back to the cave?

    Pattern recognition is not a fallacy.
