The beauty of it, though, is that it would recover almost immediately as systems arbitrage an obviously stupid situation.
But on what time scale? Before a few connected entities make a profit or after?

Did you read the TOC?
I read the article saying they were testing service changes on paying users without knowledge or explicit consent of the user, that the user had to test and determine why they perceived their sevice changed.
That is a dark pattern to inflict on users expecting consistent output.
It's heavy but not unheard of; my headphones weigh 14.8 oz and some of the heaviest I know of are something like 1.3 lbs!
Still though, I think this is just a case of Apple making them heavier purely for a premium feel.
Did those headphones have a band over the top?

I troubleshoot thermal printers for work and the error is rarely in the hardware. I have no issue with this work request; TPs are deterministic and predictable.

Strange! You benefitted from all the previous a/b experiments to give you a somewhat optimal model now. But now it’s too inconvenient for you?
Informed consent for a paying user is inconvenient?

The iPad would go from a never-buy to a buy-right-away for me, if they added user profiles. It'd be a nice thing to have on your coffee table, where anyone in the household can pick it up and be logged into all of their stuff.
Windows XP had this feature. Chromebooks have this feature. It's inexcusable that such an expensive gadget can only have one user.
The profiles work fine in Apple Classroom mode. Just a question of SSD space for the active profile(s) and a cloud source that can be used to swap them around if the SSD saturates.

This 'red line' was quite apparent around 10.14 when macOS and iOS were set on the collision course we see today in Ta-hoe. So much wasted visual space in the last 5 releases, making room for touch.
I doubt we'll see a pseudo macOS mode on mobileOS, but the mirroring for iOS in the last 2 major releases of macOS is just a jump to the left of local emulation.
