I fundamentally don't understand this kind of authoritarianism.

What possible good could ever come from involving the force of the state in something a trivial and banal as a todo list app?



For the same reason in any other kind of industry, when things don't work they get refunded, and when things go wrong people get sued.

Software shouldn't be a special snowflake in that regard, and because it currently is, that is what allows business to disregad quality and good software development practices.

Even 1 euro shops and street food joints have a minimal set of quality standards they must adhere to, or get closed down when not.
