In Australia, esim is so easy, I can press a button on my carriers website and it takes up to an hour (always 10-15) and I’m off on the new phone with a link to the new SIM

I mean porting with esim is rather easy. If you’re with a good provider it’s an hour process. Still not as good as regular Sim, but if you need to swap between multiple phones at the drop of a hat, you’re in a very small minority.

Steam is naturally a DRM. Offline mode works for I think a month before you’re locked out of your games.

No, it’s not. The original comment was specifically referring to it being a risk you accept when buying off steam etc. You accept that by participating. You can protest outside the system but your comment is entirely wrong.

The comment was referring to people who do participate though. If I make a comment about Australians Americans aren’t supposed to comment their disagreement

You accept it by participating. You don’t participate, therefore the comment wasn’t referring to you.
