its Military-grade cardboard

It works even down to -60°C.

then you're just thinking in a very naive way.

you'd need everybody to be onboard, be it your neighbor, the guy 8000 miles away from you on the other side of the planet, all the nations

if even one goes "well ill just keep going" it won't work.

it's like with nuclear weapons, nobody wants to be the one without them unless nobody else has them, so in the end they're still prevalent.

he's not one of its "biggest, most prolific users"

moving away from X would just result in less visibility

any serious business should bite the bullet and use markmonitor or something similar where you get a named support guy
