Corporations push it, gullible idiots suck it.
In IT, every use case has already been solved. Backups & data permanence/recovery were a problem 20 years ago and had a plethora of solutions 20 years ago, as pointed here >>106148112 (rsnapshoot is particularly nice and even a kid can set it up)
...but that's not sellable. "Old tech that just works fine is baaad... but please, pretty please, use our new flashy toy, it comes with colored emojis!"
TLDR: linux users favorite sport is falling for memes and getting scammed by corporations.
