For some reason, the Control Panel is still here after 10+ years of trying to get the Settings app to be feature complete

Because Control Panel is the best and fastest way to find what you want. It is clearly laid out, descriptive, and allows you to get things done.

Whereas, Settings is configured as if someone threw a ball of yarn into a box and let a cat play with it, then the cat threw up from playing so hard.

One aspect of enshittification that people don't talk about much is that sites do need to make money to continue. They can't be free forever.

Yes they can. If musicians, software companies, and movie producers don't need to be paid for what they produce, these sites don't need to be paid either.

An AI has no capability to have feelings

And what is a feeling? Based on Wiki:

According to psychologist Carroll Izard, feelings are best understood as the conscious experience of emotion, arising when an affective state reaches awareness.[4] William James similarly proposed that feelings result from the perception of bodily changes in response to external stimuli, thus forming part of the emotional process.[5] More recently, affective neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp hypothesized the role of subcortical brain systems in generating core affects that underlie both feelings and emotions.[6]

In other words, a feeling is a reaction to an external stimuli. Since reactions are nothing but the neural connections in our brains responding to the external stimuli, there is little reason to say an AI, with its digital connections, can't respond to external stimuli in a similar fashion.

You can't go after the manufacturers because 1) they're outside of your jurisdiction,

If they sell a product in your state, they're under the state's jurisdiction. It's why states can ban products or require safety features from manufacturers who sell in those states.

2) their products are likely legal in half of the world (e.g. Asia/Africa).

So? You think car manufacturers don't have different models for different parts of the world?
