I'm just gonna quote what you just said because it's basically what I was getting at:
There's no hypocrisy, and your sense is mistaken. My comment about principle was in reference to your post, which clearly has absolutely no legal argument behind it, nor an argument that the situation is significantly onerous.

But that's kinda where it starts - with consumers actually reading the damn things and protesting them to be changed before agreement.

Duh? Injecting the ToS again distracts from the argument. The OP was not making a case about the ToS, nor indicating there was some legal wrong. Clearly the thrust of the argument was therefore about principle. Bringing up the ToS is akin to derailing the thread.
