Possibly harmful in the sense it promotes habit-forming rituals. But we're already addicted anyway, so maybe net zero effect other than brand loyalty

    Since when are habit and ritual innately harmful? You've genuinely got me curious.

    I didn't say it was innately harmful. If it's a feature no one asked for, there's a good chance marketing is taking a shot at getting you hooked on something beyond performance/functionality specs. So, an extreme opinion, but we are surrounded by addictive designs that extend beyond the expected functionality.
