    I wonder if people refuse to switch cars because the other model/brand is “totally different” than what they drive… Like, it has a steering wheel, gas pedal, brake pedal in the regular location, wtf else do you need?? A browser is a browser is a browser to me. I don’t get it.

      Yes, most people do refuse to switch cars. They will drive and repair their current one until it breaks, although it is for economic reasons. Similarly, people won’t bother switching banks even if you pay them; most banks in the US offer $200-300 signing bonuses. You’ll also see that people don’t switch jobs even if they would get a 5-10% pay rise doing the same tasks. People won’t go to different grocery stores even if they’re a similar distance away and the other store offers better selection or prices. Hell, people won’t even bother switching toothpaste brands.
