This is a great question, and I highly recommend diving into this and it’s implications. It’s a sort of simple answer, but is really very complex with some deep fundamentals.

I went on a rant @lod’s comment, which I maybe should have posted directly, but I’ve spent years digging in on this and it’s impacts.

I’m happy to have direct conversations about it, but I have found out that Lemmy isn’t the forum for more than simple direct answers.

I hope you get some great answers though!
