I suspect there're other factors to forming habits.
Forming a running habit is probably harder than say heroin.
I also recall from the "atomic habits" book, that you can chain habits together.
The idea was that if you already have a habit of getting out of bed in the morning, you could hydrate. Just say "as soon as I get out of bed, drink a glass of water" and it is easier to form the habit.
Well, companies like shimano do the same thing. I have an ebike with shimano components with power outputs for lights. Even though the bike dashboard has buttons and you can navigate to settings, you need an app to connect to the bike and enable the lights. (to be clear, this is a one-time thing)
Exact opposite experience. EVs are not maintenance-free, but gas cars require lots more hands-on over time, especially getting out of the warranty period.
I don't get the appeal of hybrids - twice as much complexity seems like the combining the problems/maintenance of an EV added to a gas car.
I will say I had a non-tesla EV with a small battery and it was not comparable to a tesla. Tesla puts in enough battery to preclude charging most of the time. The supercharger network makes the remaining charging easy enough for everyone in the family to do it without being an engineer.
I think it may become more popular because recent debian policy changes made it is easier to get missing not-as-free drivers.
I've always thought debian's main competition was ubuntu, which embraces non-free. Unfortunately it also actively scrabbles to keep a hold on your machine (try uninstalling ubuntu-advantage-tools)
Sort of how obvious typos in phishing emails leave them with "customers" who will "buy" what they're selling.
