Monday doesn't bother me. I like what I do, if I didn't, I'd be looking for something else.
Everywhere you go will have it's share of shit to deal with, because people.
Early in my career a boss said "If I have 3 people working for me, I have 9 problems to deal with".
Society is the challenge with work, which is why big companies focus on team building. Us technical types tend to be rather oblivious to it (or downright adversarial), so his leadership made a big impact for me. I'm grateful to that.
I honestly have no idea what point OP is trying to make.
Immutable makes sense for a mobile device where you need a guaranteed way to ensure it functions as designed.
The rest is because phone manufacturers and Google (and Microsoft, et al) forsee a future where you don't control your OS, so they then control everything.
I've used Picsay for probably 10 years. My phone says it's the pro version, guess I paid for it at some point, and I must just copy it from phone to phone.
Or, it wasn't as harsh when they first appeared. I mean there was the Little Ice Age in Shakespeare's time, where the Thames froze over. If you took that as a sign it was becoming permanently like that in London, what would you do? It's not like you have somewhere else to go that you know it's better (or hell, where anything is).
People in the 20th century easily forget how little knowledge the average person had even 100 years ago. Hell, even the information the wealthy had. Just a couple hundred years ago a globe of the earth was practically priceless. They were still a luxury in the early 20th century.
The best skewering of this arrogance I've ever heard/read, is a rant by Charlie (to Emily/Miss Barham) in "The Americanization of Emily":
You American-haters bore me to tears, Miss Barham. I've dealt with Europeans all my life. I know all about us parvenus from the States who come over here and race around your old cathedral towns with our cameras and Coca-Cola bottles... Brawl in your pubs, paw your women, and act like we own the world. We over-tip. We talk too loud. We think we can buy anything with a Hershey bar. I've had Germans and Italians tell me how politically ingenuous we are. And perhaps so. But we haven't managed a Hitler or Mussolini yet. I've had Frenchmen call me a savage because I only took half an hour for lunch. Hell, Miss Barham, the only reason the French take two hours for lunch is because the service in their restaurants is lousy. The most tedious lot are you British. We crass Americans didn't introduce war into your little island. This war, Miss Barham, to which we Americans are so insensitive, is the result of 2,000 years of European greed, barbarism, superstition, and stupidity. Don't blame it on our Coca-Cola bottles. Europe was a going brothel long before we came to town
The incessant hubris of OECD members (even American expats!) is tiresome. Britain, France and Spain royally fucked the rest of the world for a few hundred years - they should be continually apologizing for the shit show we have today because of them.
