Which is why, note, I have not phrased my comment in terms of markets.
The market does not owe me shit. It doesn't owe anything to anybody. It does whatever it does, and if it doesn't meet our ethical and utilitarian standards, we constrain it with regulations until it does.
WRT your example, that you have to install random parking apps is a problem - it's only the case because the market framework enables and encourages people to make money by hurting and abusing others. Demanding installation of random apps is a small act of malice, but act of malice nonetheless, because it's done not to solve the parking problem, but to trap people in a situation ("captive audience") and monetize them on the side. Freedom of end-user computing helps defeat that, as it makes it easier to both set up and integrate with larger-scale, common solutions to problem, and protect yourself from attempts at being kept captive and exploited digitally.
