I don't think we should call it that but damned if the analogy doesn't fit.

Yeah, perhaps "authoritarian mentality" would be better, but that doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

It's called possessiveness when humans do it. Thinking of someone as your possession. It doesn't have the bite to it as a term but it's 100% the case that companies think they own their users.

"Incel mentality". Thinking they deserve the world on a plate without doing the work to earn the reward.
