It makes no sense to the consumer, but that's not the point. It is surveillance and data collection. Like Amazon Ring doorbells - all monitoring you and the public without consent. Alexa, Siri, Cortana - all the same, listening to every word. Why?

Anything new and improved. If it is not smaller and more expensive I would be surprised. Usually the old model works better, does a better job. Example: front load washers as compared to top load. I’m sure you can come up with examples too….

Don't you realize what you just wrote? "New and improved"? You know what that means right?? And seriously, I'm old enough to be annoyed with some new technology. But it also saves lives. My dad had a stroke in the middle of a forest, he managed to turn his phone on and the rescuers could trace him because of that. Stop being so negative about new stuff.

I know it makes sense but I think the car is one of the worst inventions ever.
Cons: too many resources needed to make them all
The roads are constantly full of traffic jams and in some places it's quicker to ride a bike
The amount of pollution they cause
The amount of petrol and oil they need
The expense of keeping them fuelled, taxed and insured
The never ending production of newer, better models to keep people buying

Pros:
They're convenient

Horse-powered vehicles were worse in urban environments - the horse s**t problem was real, and major, with literal mountains of rotting horse crap outside cities. Dead horses in the street were also a daily problem and cause of traffic jams. Early cars, with their fumes and smoke were hailed as a pollution-reducing marvel.

Gender roles are far more of a problem, honestly. Being able to identify with the majority of a given sex is actually important for more people than you'd realize. It grants a sense of solidarity that would otherwise be lacking if the only common ground you could find with others was just "we're the same species". It's when you put expectations on those defining characteristics (ie. gender roles, sexism, etc.) that problems arise.
