Why do manufacturers do that, do you think? Why would car manufacturers design the vehicles such that they require proprietary tools? Surely they can just use commodity parts and fixings?

It will. all cops are bastards.
Hahah yeah, no, fuck off, that's the bare minimum to interact with me, I'm not gonna waste my time with some genocide denier. Bye.
Can you admit that Israel is conducting a genocide?
The age restrictions for Discord were implemented already in my country a few months ago, that's why I know it works that way
For what it's worth, I'm a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and online grooming, and IMO this policy does not make vulnerable kids any safer at all. As a kid, growing up, I was desperate for any validation and even kindness because of my neglectful/abusive home situation and that need was exploited by adults who provided me the emotional connection I needed/wanted, which was then twisted into a romantic/sexual relationship. That's the risk, and all it needs is a basic chat functionality - once it has started, the groomer can very easily "help" the young person bypass any and all "protections" through any number of methods, including just switching to another platform.
The reality is that most kids are far more at danger from abusive adults in their lives - their parents, family, friends, teachers, etc. - than they are at danger from the Internet. The reason I was vulnerable to abuse online is because I was already abused IRL. If you (or anyone) has concerns about their kids safety online, by far the best thing you can do is just to be there for them, be a trustworthy, kind and loving adult in their lives. That way, when creeps online talk to them, they won't be needy for the attention, they won't be vulnerable, and if something makes them uncomfortable, they'll come and talk to you about it.
Anyways, went off on kind of a tangent, but I hope it's helpful/informative anyways.
Ah yes, "wild" to claim that the country ran by fascists, actively undertaking a genocide to ethnically cleanse arabs and muslims from their holy land is a fascist ethnostate. Also, it is a well known fact that Israeli Arabs are second class citizens. Their politicians literally call out for purges. Dunno if you're in denial, just not aware due to the propaganda (totally not your fault if so) or if you're a zionist spreading lies and misinformation.
Israel is a puppet state of the USA. The US government is more protective over Israel than any single US state. It's almost illegal to criticise Israel. The US has fucked over pretty much every ally other than Israel, Israel coincidentally does exactly what the US wants it to do all the time, Israel is defended by the US constantly, Israel was literally a colonial power created by the US and the UK... come on... it's pretty obvious that it existed to give US citizens plausible deniability about their country's imperialism and genocide in the middle east.
Translation: "We should increase spending on military equipment so that later we can become fascist and hand it all off to an authoritarian regime to use. We should do this instead of fixing any actual problems, because addressing the root cause of those problems would mean acknowledging that those problems are caused by the ruling class, who own and control 'democracy'."
Discord age restrictions prevent an underage user from viewing - but not sending - nude pictures.
This isn't to protect kids. It's to enforce increasingly authoritarian control over the web.
The reality is that there never will be, because the feature set offered by Discord is functionally impossible to provide to the public without charging a subscription fee most users would be unwilling to pay. It's a doomed business model, where enshittification and being acquired is inevitable.
I'm just simply stating the simple facts that Israel must be dissolved and everyone who had a hand in the genocide must face justice. The actual process of determining the governance etc. should be determined by those who are going to actually live there.
More like "Did they revolt and overthrow the ruling class?" tbh
