> can and should fight

I disagree, because the impact on my quality of life from fighting the fight is just not a level of sacrifice that is sensible.

> There are now and there always will be alternatives

The problem is that those "alternatives" often come with serious downsides, from higher cost, to massive inconvenience, to having to work around simply not having a service. And while most of the time it's possible to work around it, most people quickly hit the limit where the cost isn't bearable.

Interesting. I feel then that if this is the case we cannot complain then, no? If the fight is not worth fighting (I think that it is) than complaints about it are pointless (for the lack of a softer word…)

You're essentially blaming the robbery victim for handing over their wallet rather than fighting the knife-wielding robber.
