It’s not all bad necessarily, but that “anticheat” vendors are demanding it sure does suggest it’s being used for nefarious purposes.

Gaben would come to your house and arrest you.

Reality check: You’re addicted to oil and it’s going to kill you. Give in to the cravings there is no escape. It’s not all bad, we’ll take care of you. You could have a shiny new S-Class that can go 300km/h. Who could blame you for wanting that? If we don’t keep manufacturing cars as quickly as possible the whole economy might collapse. Give us another twenty years to find the solution, it will be fine.

You’re threatening to make their main product illegal in Switzerland. That they might choose to leave the country rather than simply shut down should not come as a big surprise.

Have you tried mastodon? Pleroma? Misskey? Akkoma? None of them have pointlessly complicated nonsense like “NFC” or whatever but all of them let you share things with a small group of friends and have control over who can see whatever you post. There are people using fedi like that. You may find it difficult to find them, for obvious reasons. But if you and your friends want to start doing it there’s nothing stopping you.

Pedestrians will need to pass an annual inspection to make sure they have the proper high-vis gear, flame resistant clothing, and signal lights.
