They're incapable of adaptation and adoption, like grandma who doesn't want an iPhone because her touch tone landline telephone still works just fine and is familiar.

Some of them might have. I bet any lubricators whose jobs were on the line because of them probably have had some complaints.

I mean synthetic lube is not the same as natural lube, it does different things but fails miserably when overheated and stops becoming lube
