Serious answer: ease of access in the Turd World. Recyclers and do-gooders scoop up last year's iPhones by the million and airdrop them to Pajeet and Mbogo, who, between them, have almost enough working neurons to assemble a golden retriever's brain. These people have an IQ of 75, access to the Internet, and the absolute unshakable conviction that they're right about everything.
Gresham's Law applies in the economics of information every bit as well as it does with tangible goods and tangible gold coins. Bad coin drives out good. Entropy increases. Everything becomes enshittified. This is the inevitable, unavoidable next phase of the process that began back in September of 1993, when ARPANET ceased to be a secret Cool Kids Club for computer science majors and a few Pentagon types, and was opened up to the general public, who proceeded to invent spam and shit all over everything even before AOL covered the Earth's surface in free prepaid Internet access CDs usable by any octogenarian whose grandkids set up a computer for her, who was in turn horrified by the no-forehead types who bought WebTV boxes in order to YELL IN ALL CAPS and clog every Web 1.0 forum and chatroom with thousands of copied and pasted monstrous, tacky, and stupid animated emoji gifs that crashed servers and slowed everyone's connection to a crawl.
It was getting worse every year even before the Search Engine Optimizer biz was created and the Internet became 80% bots shilling cat food and tennis shoes, 19% exiled Nigerian princes who need your help to smuggle a billion dollars of stolen UN foreign aid money out of the country and stinky jeets who want your cognitively impaired Boomer grandma not to redeem the card, and 1% humans who can communicate in grammatically coherent sentences.
