It is because failed writers would rather steal someone’s else’s IP than create their own.
As a result, I am buying more dead tree books in preparation for the day when Bozos decides to rewrite all ebooks to his liking

They are even censoring and pulling Little House on the Prairie because of cultural sensitivities, as told me by a librarian when I was looking for one to read.
That did it.
I’m keeping all my old books and CDs and DVDs. I don’t want to hear that I can stream it. Big media is censoring and reworking too much these days.
I don’t want them messing with classics.
No. These properties are owned by corporations. Writers are hired by those corporations to do what they're told. It's almost impossible to sell a new spec project and has been for the last decade, at least. These decisions are made by bean counters who figure that they can make a return on investment with less risk on a mediocre franchise film that will have a built-in audience they can calculate, rather than spending that same investment on a new idea that nobody knows.
