On the one hand, I admit this is kind of objectively silly behavior.
On the other, I think it’s valuable to consider these things and the role they play in consumer/user behavior. Convenience is undeniably a major/the primary reason many users don’t do what’s best for them.

It’s great that you don’t find it as convenient, which means the trade off as great for you. However for my 5 days a week commuting it’s a load off.
