Feel free to ignore any such wording that you disagree with. We don't need to

hot corner, or asked me to do it for them. I obviously did not mean
"everybody" literally, but it's even fine if you take it literally, given the
context.

Please consider the possibility of a cognitive bias. Of course everyone you talk to  agrees with your preferences: after all, they just came to you for help. They know you are technically savvy and opinionated, so they seeked you, and so it's possible that all y'all gerrymandered yourselves into thinking that 'literally every user' shares your belief, even though it's statistically rather improbable.

This is a know phenomenon in social sciences: see a good writeup here https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-02562-z

By the way, speaking for myself, I decided to stop using the term 'literally', because I don't want to be AWFUL (American Who Figuratively Use Literally :).
