Have a go at it in the wilderness and you’ll realize really rather quickly how disconnected modern … durations have become. But yeah, for some it’s definitely an escape. Particularly at work.
My first programming forays were with the assembler feature of DEBUG.EXE, on an 8088. Extraordinarily cumbersome in retrospect, but it was existing at the time. Definitely a gateway experience.
I would guess that having it drilled in from childhood probably has something to do with it. By taking issue with it, you're going against the flow and people in general seem to be uncomfortable with that sort of thing.…

Honestly I struggle to think of a more complicated program than a modern browser that expects to fully support the existing web.
That may be true, and it may be of personal value to pursue this for yourself. That's different from socially badgering others into it at group events.

I’d be interested to hear how you reached that conclusion, and what that conclusion is meant to imply.
In some sense, you might consider it to be a crude one. If you configure your computer to boot directly into full screen emacs, never leave it, and do your damndest to interact only with in-process elisp, you might get…
Well, in my opinion, inertia is a dominant factor. There is an enormous amount of inertia present in the current systems and thought patterns. Redesigning the world from scratch while applying different principles is…

Unfortunately, it’s kind of crazy to use anything better, since — as you pointed out — most people won’t even care.
uBlock (at least uBlock Origin) doesn't block banners, at least not by default. Apparently you can adjust your filters to do so, but I didn't even know that was a thing until I looked into it just now.
I don't know about your experience (individual web footprints and all), but the banners I see mostly aren't really asking for permission. They're telling you that they use cookies, that by using their website you…

That really isn’t the point, I said it was tame for a reason.
XD yes. I realize you’re probably trying to disagree with me, but, yes.
