Great article, and terrible idea. Wonder why the UI guidelines were bent here.

It's astonishing how many web designers have no idea about the difference between inclusive and mutually exclusive options.

I see checkboxes used all the time when they should be radio buttons. It's not rocket surgery. https://www.nngroup.com/articles/checkboxes-vs-radio-buttons...

All in the name of simplicity. Eventually Apple devices will just have one button that says "give us money".

Pressing a button would be optional. No need to give Apple's customers a confusing choice - just transfer all their money to Apple who can prioritise Apple's needs appropriately.

I think they're smart enough to stop at: "press this and we'll take your money and tell your friends you're cool."

I suspect that phrase may be a oblique reference to the absolutely lovely UI testing book "Rocket Surgery Made Easy: The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Finding and Fixing Usability Problems" by Steve Krug.
