It is most definetively apathy.

People takes the path of least resistence most often than not. That is why
consumer electronics come with so much preloaded crapware: people is more
likely to use a preinstalled suite and buy into an already provided software
ecosystem than use something else. Explained in practical terms: somebody who
buys an Android device is more likely to use the Google ecosystem and the
provided Google programs and infrastructure than install alternatives for
those, and if you point the ways that Google is harmful, they will agree and
keep using the Google ecosystem because switching takes non-zero effort and
staying and being raped by Google is just easier.

It applies to so many things in life. Lots of people is subscribed to streaming
services who then use their money to spew propaganda against them, and they
remain with those services because it is the easy thing to do.
