it's boiling the frog method. Moving too fast means backlash, but a slow, step by step transition where each step seems reasonable, but ultimately end up with a locked down device, is how they aim to achieve it. And people would be too lazy to complain until the last few steps, by which time it would be too late.

FWIW, “boiling the frog” is the example of false reasoning about slippery slopes (the frog in actuality always left)
Your larger point still stands though of normalizing changing expectations by slow degrees

There is already so much backlash. If I ever use a recaptcha, I will have Google Gemini solve it wasting Googles compute and messing up the dataset.
Good metaphor. On the one hand, Google increasingly cooperates and makes deals with militaries and governments. On the other hand, it increasingly locks down its customers and eliminates their privacy and freedoms.
Google has just about got the pot boiling. They win, we lose.
