None whatsoever. In fact that's a great analogy. Modern tractors are incredibly unfriendly to consumers - they're closed source, not open to repairs, expensive, and massively over-engineered. They offer some superficial UX improvements but nothing you can't live without. John Deere's shenanigans get posted to HN regularly. As a company they're one of the reasons the US government is considering laws to protect consumers access to things they've bought. I don't think anyone would find it controversial that someone might want a simpler, easier, repairable, accessible tractor in the light of that.

A little nostalgia for a time when things were actually better for the end user is exactly where my post is coming from. Going back to analysing traffic using server logs without stuffing more JS into every website seems reasonable to me.
