I got what it meant the first time I heard it so I figured it was fine to use.

Are they really or are you just projecting what you want them to do?
Excluding bullet trains, these are just bazinga-brained Disney world attractions. Could have put mixed use zoning on the front, and toxic grindset work culture on the back.
You are pigeonholing my utterances as logical fallacies. 
You are committing fallacy fallacy.
If this is what exercising your intellect looks like I guess you need it.
Similar to another reply about shorthand, I practice with my own steno-typing keyboard I 3D printed as a hobby. I'm steno-typing this very message! (Very slowly)
Yes, good, we're all very impressed that you know that word. They literally are pigeonholing you... and what's your point?
And what precisely is the moral issue with stealing? Depriving someone of their personal property, which piracy is not.
It certainly feels like we're on the precipice of something breaking what with computers rapidly getting more locked down, these secure enclaves and/or TPM chips verifying that you're watching on an approved OS and web browser before allowing you to stream, and then the video is encrypted until it gets to your actual TV. Crazy what they're getting away with.
In the near future I foresee pirates pointing cameras at TV screens then using AI to clean up the video, then media companies responding by creating randomized slightly different versions of videos so they can trace them back to the account holder who shared it (move some tree branches around, slightly different colored hat on background actors, etc) and perhaps getting legislation passed to stop cameras from being allowed to record IP protected material, and so on.
They want >$100 a month to come out with maybe one movie and maybe two TV shows worth watching each year? No thanks, piracy for me has become more of a means to assuage my fear of missing out and keeping in touch with the cultural moment than actual enjoyment of the media they're putting out right now.
I do not believe the quality would go down if their budgets were cut significantly.
I agree, Gnome can CSDeez nuts. They're really ruining my tiling window manager experience. Worse still than the death of global menus is the death of unity HUD style interfaces which were just catching on (press alt button to start a search interface for all the menu options) they were so nice for the likes of gimp and open office.
Sorry if it's moderately less "ooh ahh shiny" but it's objectively an incredibly efficient way to find things. Gnome has posed no valid alternative for this and several other features that they have sunset.
As a sway user even I agree with this move. We don't need our own apple-like entity directing the course of Linux UI design toward pretty walled gardens. We can have our pretty and approachable UI cake and power user/traditional desktop features too!
