....there are a lot of underskilled morons screwing things up for the rest of us, hence the push for something a bit safer.

If you're skilled enough to write good code without the nannies and such, good for you, but don't push back on something safer for everybody else just because you don't feel like using it.

It sort of reminds me of all the kids these days who are terrified to drive a car without an automatic trans, a rear view camera, and sensors all over the car to save them from their own mistakes..... it's kinda sad, a little amusing, but in the end it won't hurt you one bit.

...where we live it's a huge problem.

The brightness and color of aftermarket LED bulbs are bad enough.... but when you also take into account the fact that the LEDs are usually not in the same place as the element in a standard bulb you have even bigger issues with the light being improperly focused especially in reflector style housings(this is less of an issue in projector housings, but still an issue).

Then there are all the lifted truck coal rolling dude bros with their multiple off road light bars that they run full time that are often far brighter than any headlight.

Personally I think every single one of them should be charged with endangering the lives of other drivers, spend a month in jail, and have their cars impounded for 90 days at their expense.

...if a night at the movies for two didn't cost close to $100 with a drink and snacks.

After years of getting screwed over at the theater I finally invested in a 70 inch TV.... now I can bring my dog and all my friends and family to a movie for the cost of streaming it.

Doubt I'll ever go back to the theaters.

Of course it will, it's why they waited so long to do it.

MS already streams games... and for a lot of people they work fine... streaming games was the test for streaming desktops, and it worked.

Your prediction of doom as no logical basis given the current state of the technology to be used. You're just an outlier, your experience does not denote the average experience.
