If you actually care, you can start with things like “walkable cities,” look at city planning before Ford made it illegal, look into how NYC has made it no longer a crime, etc.
It doesn’t actually seem like you do, though
Ford’s work to reframe the action caused massive changes to urban planning, mostly for the worse.
Their work to change cultural views are apparently so strong, you can’t see how changing the language around it was “inaccurate or inappropriate”
That’s what Google is doing to the average user for “sideloading” - in a few generations, they will have stigmatized it enough that people will be saying it shouldn’t be allowed
Again, you keep insisting that I just don’t understand anything about walkable cities or talking about Ford’s ad campaigns. I do. That is not what we’re discussing.
What we’re discussing is how the word is inaccurate or inappropriate or “blames” anyone other than those who are doing exactly what the word is intended to describe. And it doesn’t seem like you have any interest in putting forth a legitimate argument so I guess we’re done here.
If you truly understand the historical context of how calling it “jaywalking” rather than what it was at the time has been used to change the cultural narrative, and you understand how Google (and Apple) are trying to say “sideloading” is dangerous and shouldn’t be allowed on their devices, but can’t get to how that shift in narrative is being used… I agree, there’s no point in continuing

The same goes for “sideloading”.
