Plenty of Americans spend 5 to 10% of their worth on stuff. Who cares what your neighbor paid for his boat....maybe dude just likes to drink Coors light on the lake.
Seems reasonable to not allow random downgrading because you didn't like the UI layout.
2 cents opinion.
In modern America, with allopathic medicine being the norm, its difficult to obtain some things that are likely safe at a 3 sigma confidence interval. Yet conversely, and reminder we share healthcare costs partially as a society through Medicare and Medicaid, you're free to pour McDonalds into yourself and add $X00k of cost onto the healthcare system, and "infringing on that right" and heaven forbid enacting a tax on sugar products is somehow unacceptable.
I can shorten my life expectancy by 15 years in so many ways. But to buy XYZ drug without a giant multi-day process which on average is positive, and even at ABC confidence level is not negative, nahhhh we don't trust you as a society to do that.
Super frustrating in a borderline libertarian rant.
You might like the #1 book on Amazon under cardiology currently. Its thesis is cholesterol has nothing to do with heart diseases, its all in the clots. Good detail of the clotting process and relatively understandable.
My experience with pachinko in Japan felt very much like the old strip in Las Vegas emotion and vibe wise.

Would disagree about the HN audience comment. Just the red and green SMS bubbles are SO strident on iOS on Macbook versus black and white on iPhone.
But just my personal opinion.
On the rare occasion I need to turn my phone to color say once a month (like when buying a pair of shoes and needing to see the color) the hue and intensity of just the regular internet and Instagram is outright overwhelming.
That's anecdotal but in my experience it does work.
