Imagine being such an irredeemably enshittified trillion-dollar company that makes bad products that you need to resort to dark patterns or straight out ostracism (#Immich is only the latest example, anyone remembers when they pulled K9-Mail from the Play Store?) in order to discourage people from using open-source software that competes with your products.

With all the resources it has, #Google could simply make Google Photos better.

But I guess that scaring off those who use its open-source alternatives is much easier and doesn't even cost development time.
