I actually hope they will just fix all of their security/privacy issues
Yes, me too! I was going to edit my comment again to clarify, but I figured it wasn’t worthwhile trying to list all the caveats explicitly. But yes, if they fix this stuff and continue to be successful, that would be good.
How many security issues we (software engineers) create on a daily bases simply because the management needs something for yesterday?
I disagree with your premise there. Sure, security bugs can sneak in if you’re rushed, but that’s qualitatively different from actively exploiting security holes and using dark UI patterns to make your own life easier. I hope most engineers would refuse to implement feature requests like that. It should be considered a form of malpractice.
