Yes, that's true, but the word sounds bad so I'm using the more fun one. I suppose we could use a qualifier, like "corporate rot"
Corporate rot sounds better than just rot as enshittification happens on purpose due to seeking to extract maximum value from something where as rot is just a natural consequence of atrophy over time
Cory Doctorow actually coined the term, so a decent strategy given how poorly it’s used would be to trust its use any time you read him and substitute it every other time
