There’s way more DIY going on in the 2020s I feel.
Yeah, because nobody can afford to have quality craftsmanship these last 3 decades. So now people are like “FINE! I’LL DO IT MYSELF!”
To counter that, the open source scene is bigger than it’s ever been and is potentially on track to start making waves in the mass market. That’s a big thing that I feel was not the case in the 2010s. There’s way more DIY going on in the 2020s I feel. So not all bad at least.

I think there’s a bit of that, but also a bit of… unsubtle enshittification. I mean the obvious, AI features that nobody likes getting crammed into everything. Apples Intelligence making siri unable to do simple tasks it used to be able to do easily.
A lot of people would be happy to pay premium price for things that do exactly what they want. But more and more software companies are reversing what they do… and even when they do what you want, you still have to be vigilant on them changing their minds and removing features, or adding subscription costs etc…

Ill agree here. enshitification is moving folks toward open source and specifically libre and making them more willing to just abandon technology all together.
