I remember reading a book where someone at apple said "Why can't macos just execute windows .exe files?"
Although this person was technically qualified to ask this question, the important point was there was enough power for people to take pause and consider it.
As a technical person you are thinking about the problem. That's why I love being technical.
In a power structure it is more complicated. "Why can't a rocket be reused?" Well, Elon Musk is a technical person with power so not only can it happen, everyone will get behind it.
On the other hand, why should my car HAVE to be internet connected if I don't want it? (or have a proper dashboard in front of me instead of the side?)
