And that's a much better answer!

"Because it would require changes" doesn't answer OPs question. They want to know why wasn't it done like this in the first place, and why aren't we making the changes to make it happen now. Of course changing things would require changes.

It's like answering a "why are stop lights red?" question with "It wouldn't work because stop lights factories uses red bulbs and laws require them to be red".

If you have to do that in order to access something, then the access is restricted, isn't it?

By not allowing it to be sold. The antenna is a physical product, that needs to legally enter the country, legally be sold, and Starlink needs to be able to legally charge you monthly subscription fees. If they can't sell it to you then you are not getting it.

Sure, you can get a fake address and payment details in a neighboring country, get a subscription there, then smuggle the antenna in, but that's much more difficult, hence the access is restricted.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good

Fair, maybe they could make it a requirement only if you have a repository.

Surely 2FA being required is a good thing?

Last time I checked, it was not mandatory to work for Toyota, so anyone feeling overworked there could leave.

So it's fine for Musk to abuse Tesla workers and union bust, because they can leave? Is that what's you are saying? I'm not sure the fact someone can leave is any excuse for a CEO's behavior.

Unlike those feeling threatened under President felon, who can’t just up and leave the country.

Unlike those at Toyota, a Japanese company where it's the cultural norm to work at the same corporation your entire life, and it's unthinkable to leave or complain about your employer?

Anyhow, it was just a made up example, I know nothing about Koji Sato, maybe he's amazing. My point is that buying a car is not a political statement and not an expression of support for the CEO of the car company. It certainly can be, but it usually isn't.

People buying a Toyota aren't expressing support for Koji Sato's work policies resulting in deaths from overwork. In fact most people buying a car don't care in the slightest who happens to be the CEO of that car manufacturer.

They might just like the retrofuturistic shape, and aren't interested in politics.

It's a thought experiment. Of course such a stick wouldn't exist. OP's question is what laws of physics prevent this theoretical scenario from working.

They didn't. They moved it from the foreword to the final line.

To be clear, Google is absolutely evil, and the unofficial motto was always worthless. I am just annoyed everyone ate the clickbait reporting about something that never happened and is repeating it to this day. I guess "Google moved Don't be evil Clause to a less prominent spot" doesn't click as well.

Not you, you brought it up and I agree.

That's a perverse sense of "productivity" then. I like spending my free time getting a lot done, but none of it is a "hustle" or an attempt at making money.

Working on my hobbies is fulfilling and makes me happy. If I like painting train models all weekend, who are you to argue against it? Doing nothing is boring and sad.

You could come up with a scenario that doesn't involve anything violent like a tsunami. Water level going up to cover the building, carrier hitting it and getting stuck, then water level going down again.

And Bezos with Amazon but people still think he's the CEO.

The person you replied to just said China is not giving support to Uyghurs.

Someone: A is not supporting B. You: A is not bombing and genociding B and everyone saying so is lying!

Sure, but how is that an argument? You have neither argued for or against the claim that China is not supporting them, and comment OP didn't say they are bombing and genociding them, just that they are not supporting them, so that's a bit of weird thing to deny unprompted.
