There are two truths:
1. It is forbidden by law in many places (including the US).
2. They will get away with it regardless, in nearly every case. So often that practically speaking it's allowed

They just want the fun of experimentation and a payday
And like that's fine whatever, live your life, but it's creating a really crappy feedback loop of monopolization and buy outs

It's a feature they aren't afraid of ignoring

They are stagnant because they outsource almost all real R&D to startups they can buy only after they've done the hard work of proving success
I know it's not a monopoly per se, but it's anti-competitive and there's too many walled gardens

Law enforcement is basically allowed to lie to you
Most of those claims were BS but you have to call their bluff to find out.
He didn't have to answer questions or give them passwords, and they will always tell you that you have to
Edit: "allowed to" as in there's no consequences because of how difficult it is to prosecute them. It's intentionally ignored

1. Our survival is not at stake
2. No one trusts the economy or current administration to invest in it
3. The complete destruction in national identity, social cohesion, and any call whatsoever to a higher power.
This leads to the natural outcomes of
1. Complacency and coasting
2. High risk for little perceivable gain
3. A society that doesn't believe what we have is even worth protecting

From my perspective it's the realism, seriousness, and lack of everything the franchise did for like 40 years that has successfully killed the fun
I also love Bourne movies, and I don't need them to be the same

But they have no new ideas, and they only make something that feels vaguely like what it was
Bond as a concept is fine, the execution has been trash for over a decade now

Seems very niche, with massive data size restrictions, making it difficult to broadcast or stream on existing infrastructure.
But even if you solved the infrastructure problem, it feels like a gimmick that would be uninteresting pretty quickly.
Sporting events maybe benefit a bit by being able to find the right angle for any shot, but honestly they will probably just find the best angle and post that video as a clip

It's amazing that he got so much right including how he's wrong

Edit: just a passing thought, I don't advocate for any of these ideas. Just complaining, I have no answers
