Personally I avoid using autocorrect for the same reason I avoid using a calculator for mundane calculations. I ascribe to the belief that your brain works in the same way a muscle does; that is, if you don’t use it… you lose it.
In many instances, autocorrect can be a god send (someone with dyslexia no doubt finds it invaluable for example), but for the layperson, my opinion is that it’s just another tool that promotes laziness, and a lack of thought around grammar/spelling etc.
I’m not suggesting my way is the correct approach, but rather offering an alternative viewpoint as to why some people disable assistance tools such as autocorrect.
This is the big one. Steam are currently seen as the exception to the rule largely due to Gabe’s commitment to the gaming community. It’s one of the few large American companies that actually seem to practice what they preach. This is probably largely due to steam being privately owned rather than publicly traded, so Gabe can afford to do stuff that benefits his customers, rather than milk them for the shareholders benefit.
Once good ol’ Gabe is gone though, steam will likely eventually be sold publicly and the gradual enshittification brought about by the American shareholder will be inevitable, so whilst steams not an immediate threat like other American platforms, you’re certainly not wrong to bring them up as a potential threat.
