Or when they help phone manufacturers enshittifying phones. They’re the reason, why the “integrated DACs are too noisy” argument exists, and then they’re telling you that unless you’re willing to spend $500 on an audiophile DAC, $1000 on an external headphone amplifier, and $8000 on an audiophile-grade headphone, you’ll be fine with cheap airpods.
It’s just an opportunity for opportunists to sell even cheaper DACs, while the ones who wanted better DACs could have still plugged a USB into their phone or used bluetooth.

I actually think thats fine.
the problem starts when they thkink everyone else is doing it wrong.
