still, others will have to pay for it which might reduce how widely its used.
Sometimes i wonder if it could be worth it to invent shit like this and patent it just so no one else cant do it themselves
Nah, they'll patent it anyway and then tie you up in BS lawsuits over it. Fighting it will cost you way more than you're willing to spend, so you'll settle out of court for a licensing agreement that definitely doesn't benefit you but makes the lawsuit go away.
