Lots of peoples' buying habits and trust-based attitudes were forged last century.
It'll take a generation or two for new habits to form.
In the meanwhile modern businesses will make hay by selling trojan-horses to old school customers , and using the profits to tie-in new users to new services to try to capture/brainwash the next gen into thinking there is no choice.
I think you'll remain in the minority unless 'ignorant' consumers who 'fall for that' can become educated and learn about the options.
