Weren't there reports of exactly this already happening?

There are options, but you probably won't like them...
I know this is semantics, but I would say a good book is engaging rather than addicting. Many phone apps are specifically designed with addiction in mind, targeting the pleasure centers of your brain to keep you playing/scrolling/etc. But I also acknowledge that this is similar to style guides on keeping the reader interested.
I would describe it as a difference in degree.
Books weren't designed to be addictive and make you lose track of time.
FTA:
About 37% of smartphone users spend over five minutes on the toilet compared with 7% of non-smartphone users.
In some places, yes, probably. It would most likely fall under anti-SLAPP protections.
IANAL though, so it could be more complicated.
I really wish they had included the average insurance price for each model. They obviously had it, since that was the basis of the ranking, but they chose not to display it.
Electric vehicles cost $4,058 on average to insure
$4k per what? Is that across the entirety of the category, which is top-heavy?
I can assure you that my Chevy Bolt costs a lot less than $4k/year to insure, and that includes full coverage and common claim caps. It's similar to my common ICE car before it.
I presume it's being heavily swayed by the expensive cars, such as Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, etc. I don't think your standard EV (GM, Hyundai, VW, etc) is going to be reasonably different over a comparable ICE model.
There is value in a rallying cry. Your favorite sports teams often have one. If you watch college sports, they usually have a fight song, and people even know/enjoy them. Something gutteral to energize the base, and gather them together.
This isn't one of those.
Of course they didn't. It was only a submarine sandwich.
If it had been a ham sandwich, OTOH, things would be different.
Are you able to physically replace the HDD (preferably with an SSD)? If so, you can use the (Win10) Media Creation Tool to create a USB installer.
When it prompts for a key, just skip it. If you have an OEM mass activation laptop (i.e. anything from a major brand), it'll activate automatically after. If, for whatever reason it still doesn't activate, you'll have a nag screen telling you to activate. It won't significantly limit what you do.
It's nearly certain. OEM activation has been stored on the motherboard since XP. XP-7 required a matching OEM cert (easily found online), while 8+ have a unique license in the BIOS. For these, you just reinstall the OS, skip the key during setup, and let it connect afterwards for all of the updates and whatnot.
Now, licenses to other apps, such as Word, are not so simple.
This will also be used to restrict their voting rights.
