I think it's a design decision. Some high-level designer probably decided on cutting all the wires, so here we are. Shame they didn't hear about markrt research or customer surveys.

Not nealrly as much as electing Musk did. (Since this is just one symptom of it)
They're not that few and far between, as declining must be as easy as declining per the GDPR. Just report the transgressors to the national watchdog.
A cause for conCERN
Playing devil's advocate here: maybe they were trying to be inclusive by not specifiying gender but haven't heard of they. The US education system is a joke in a lot of places so the (hypothetical) teacher may have to think twice before suggesting they change the it's to their. But hey, at least the apostrophe is where it should be and I'd take that as a win for education.
I'd like to interject here a bit.
For a "normal" user (read non-tech, perhaps even a bit lower on the "tech literacy" scale) any change requires a learning curve. While we Linux people don't have too big of a problem switching distros and UI setups, someone "non-techy" finds the switch from Win7 to Win10 challenging, as well as from Win10 to Win11. We're not in the 95/98 era when a "name" upgrade meant you don't have to install USB drivers off a floppy - the UI stad the same. (which just means Greg won't need to bother with that while he sets up your new computer)
Nowadays, the move from 10 to 11 is anything but "painless" to me - and for me it's just annoyances. For people less tech-savvy it's an enigma at times.
So, my point is - the switch from Win10 to Win11 will probably be worse than Win10 to Mint for old people (mostly). Those deeply rooted into varous ecosystems aren't the focus of this comment.
