Can I ask for more info? Is it the perfect word for how some people feel about the tech industry? The perfect word to describe disagreement?

I agree.

For a normal person, when your day is pop-ups, cookie dialogs, dark patterns, auto-opt-in, <100-pages-of-legalese> + "Accept", subscriptions, smartphone-only ordering and customer service and endless-monetization...

...why use weaker words?

of course, if you're working or starting a tech company, you cannot use strong words. You might alienate your many funding sources.
