It's felt a lot like that this year - that or companies are seizing the opportunity to get bad stuff done while everyone else is, so they don't stand out.

This seems to be a common refrain I see since the pandemic. Oh, inflation, they are raising prices so we should too to maintain our profits! Oh, layoffs in the industry, we should too while we can! Oh, live service microtransaction bullshit is making that company money, we should do that too!
