What I mean is that privacy is no longer mainstream. The software shown does work but the majority of people don’t use it or don’t even know what it is.

Not really. People who use the apps are trying to preserve (conserve) the time when privacy wasn’t an afterthought. It’s not working, but they’re sure trying.

That’s not always true. Handymen, for example, often do much of the work and hire others only when needed. Entrepreneurs sometimes run their businesses all on their own selling products they personally designed.
