Well, interpreting what I said as who bribed Jacob is one way to
take it..  another is asking how he earns his living and what kind of
perspective he has on life.

I've learned the hard way that people can do what they want as long
as they get away with it, to get something they want.

That a system does something by default affects people, and I think
it could help create barriers towards migrating to other systems.  That
MS implemented a browser ballot screen after the EU commission decided
on it shows that what people use by default does in fact matter.
