The issue isn't that we have no alternative, it's that this feature will basically eliminate those alternatives sadly. You can read more about it here if you haven't, but it's bad.
For sure, I agree and it's bad. But frankly unsurprising. This is the trajectory of the internet: greater control.

Alternatives must be promoted in mass scale.
