Power imbalance is something that exists in the daily life of an individual: an employer, education provider(e.g. school), bank, insurer, government, law enforcer (and more) - are examples of people or systems that can compel you to use software or features that you don't want to use.
Those that can foresee how certain changes can be abused will appear to paradoxically act against their own interests. These people have already weighed the advantages of the change against the pitfalls they bring.
There are also different platforms were we can already see empirically how those changes are being abused - so it's not some hypothetical values discussion.
