They're not gambling if you have a real-world stake in an outcome addressed by one of these markets.

I have a real-world stake in the outcome of a roulette spin. Either I win money or I don't. How is that any different than saying I win or lose if something happens or doesn't happen on one of these markets?

government approved plate flipper.

I don't see where this has recieved government approval anywhere. The inventors might wish this to be so, but that's going to be a tough hill to climb.

Anecdote: A few years back, our state undertook a program to switch number plates every few years. Nothing to do with damage to a plate or any other reason. Sort of a nuisance, IMO. One day, I had mentioned this to a freind of mine, well connected in law enforcement circles. I said that this would be a boon for stalkers, because victims, upon noting strange cars in an area and comparing them to plates previously noted, would just think, "Not the same number. I must be imagining things." The state's plate-switching obsession stopped soon after that.

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.
