Yes, I know that many here on the forum dream of Bitcoin being massively adopted with everyone having their own private keys, without using custodial services and taking great care of privacy, but it seems to me that this is not going to be the case. If the majority of people move to using it, they are not going to do it like the tech savant on the forum.
Anyway, I also think this is good because popularizes Bitcoin on a day-to-day basis and helps mass adoption, albeit with third parties, but the OP could have already put the country in which country this happens in the title.
It is true most people don't care about self-sovereignty, privacy, and even dignity. They will still be purchasing new iPhones despite announcements Apple will scan through users' dirty photos. They will readily be using bitcoin with the assistance of unnecessary intermediaries despite thousands of opportunities bitcoin offers to escape such unproductive and unsafe collaboration. But still. At least, on this forum, which was created by Satoshi Nakamoto, we shouldn't be promoting the wrong ways of using the Bitcoin network or questionable facilitating bitcoin payments via intermediaries. When you see news like that one above, where some exchange takes your bitcoin and gives you permission to pay for something, you should at least ask questions and point out the issues this approach to using bitcoin incorporates.
