Everyone with a technically inclined, logical, forward-thinking brain did. Unfortunately, that probably at best describes no more than roughly 10-15% of people.
What do you mean "next?" Watch closely which party the parents they pick on belong to. 10:1 odds they're disproportionately Democratic.
Are we all not individuals who make up our own minds? I'm the black (white?) sheep of the family, simply demonstrated by the fact they're all MAGAts, and I'm most certainly NOT.
Your post reeks of visiting the sins of the fathers upon their offspring.

I'm not interested in debate of this topic, as virtually every time I have engaged in such in the past it's quickly become obvious that the other person was not engaging in good faith with an open mind.
There is plenty of information to be found from all sides on the topic on the net, and if you're truly interested you should invest the time to look it over with a skeptical eye while knowing there's a good amount of propaganda from both sides. You'll have to figure out which sources are most trustworthy, and factual in their reporting - although even the more biased sources often make good points to be considered. Then compare and contrast stories to find the essential facts that are most likely to actually be true and go from there.
Good luck.
Regarding spoiling the fun, were this a world without enshitification and/or corporate malfeasance that might be a good consideration. For the world we currently actually DO live in, my initial reaction is usually one of mistrust - and I strongly suspect I'm far from alone in that.
As such, I normally might've not ventured forth with exploring your offering, but instead waited for someone to give me more of an idea what I was walking into before potentiality giving out information I didn't want to inadvertently. However, at the moment I came across your post I guess I was feeling gregarious enough (and less concerned with this identity since I've only recently created it) to toss my normal inhibitions aside, and share the kind of info I myself would have been wanting to see before taking the risk.
TL;DR: There are an number of psychological factors at play here as well as real-world concerns, so IMHO the more up-front you are in letting potential users know what to expect, the more comfortable they'll be with giving it a shot. They'll also be better informed about what to look for in features they might not have otherwise discovered with a quick spin.
Have you surveyed a large percentage of all high school physics teachers, or are you just projecting your extremely limited personal experience onto the rest of the world's physics teachers?
There are positives and negatives to everything - highlighting just one side is the modus operandi for manufacturing consent.
A poorly educated public is one of the major underpinnings of a fascist dictator state. It's why school funding has been on the decline for decades - capitalist alpha-type one-percenters have been pulling the politicians' reigns (particularly the willing Republicans, but over time the Democrats have been bought, too) & playing the long game, and it's now reached fruition.
I'm sure it's an attempt at intimidation for the upcoming election.
Last I knew, Opera was owned by a Chinese company. I don't have a problem with the Chinese people, but their onerous government gives me pause. I don't want to contribute to them financially any more than I absolutely have to (considering it's virtually impossible to buy much of anything nowadays that doesn't have their hooks in it outside of food - and there's probably even something I'm missing there).
It's definitely meant for their Enterprise customers.
