I sure wish UX was somehow more of a real forcing function in capitalism. I wish that the things which pretty much discourage the users from forking over money would have more immediate and drastic effects. I just cannot fathom how the folks who make things seem to time and again make stuff that is preventing me from wanting to spend money.

Now, I would also extend that to the idea of getting eyeballs, since that is another form of currency in this day and age. E.g. windows phone 10 app store showed something at costing $ and then I drill in and find out there is also a free trial (ad supported) version.
