    I don’t know about Scrollone, but I hate it when corporations force me to change for the sake of change. Options to change is fine (in case someone doesn’t like the default), of course.

    And no, “inclusivity” is not the actual reason, as that’s already covered by adding the option to change (which again, is completely fine)
