Yeah, revised version:

If you’re not paying you’re the product. If you are paying you’re still the product and paying for the privilege*.

Humm, that’s not as pithy.

Yeah. That’s a good point. I don’t know why anyone would put any frequently updated app in squashfs.

I guess you can use the app right after you factory reset even if you don’t have much data which might be something? Are updates smaller since they’re just deltas?

Those apps are installed in the squashfs image. Such images are write once, read many and thus they can’t be mutated at runtime.
