Because it's simple. The company that owns the content does a DMCA claim and they either remove it or get sued. Removing it is simple and largely automated.

They do. Almost everything gets DMCA'd within hours of being uploaded. What happens is they just get uploaded again and again, on different backbones and servers, and you end up getting the complete thing from multiple sources or as soon as it gets uploaded but before it gets DMCAd.

🤣 Fuck of reddit, they're handing over that data without putting up a fight.

but buying bullshit with a flag on it to use for a single day to celebrate how good we are is my definition of wasteful and narcissistic

You don't have to only use the stuff for a single day you know?

It means an easy excuse that they can throw out there to make people like you believe it's not just for the stupid "inclusivity" reason, and it clearly works on the gullible.

Just like Bud Light and Target did in the US. Look how that worked out for them.

They're absolutely pandering, which is why they put this in their statement:

At the same time there’s been broader discussion about 26 January and what it means to different parts of the community

Yes, they do because companies are judged and scored on ridiculous stuff like that, and companies are more and more trying to pander to these ideologies. Example: Bud Light, Target (US), and now Kmart here specifically saying that they are removing Australia day merchandise to be more "inclusive", not due to declining sales.

It will require design changes, but there are already plenty of options to make it happen.

Nah, there's basically no design changes needed. Pretty much everyone already complies with the new EU laws. People seem to think the new laws mean you'll just be unclipping the back of your phone and chucking a new battery in like in the nokia days lol. All it means is that you won't need proprietary tools to open your phone. You'll still need to disassemble the phone as usual. Basically nothing changes for the big OEMs already. It's not going to make replacing your battery on your own any easier.
