** Alternatively making them too easy to shut off would make them useless or outright dangerous; you send your android on an errand but someone slap it on the off switch and leave with your purchase, or some stupid prankster do that while it's carrying something heavy/fragile. It could get worse if it's blocking the way or fall on someone. At this point you could as well do it yourself and only have the android do housework tasks. And that's without considering the ones working in businesses, you'd have to constantly keep an eye out so nobody hit the killswitch and steal your wares.

** There are devices that buy things automatically already, like some printers ordering replacement cartridges if you run low on ink. There were also ideas of fridges ordering food if you were running low on some products, it's an extension of that concept.

** Throughout the game, it's demonstrated that Machine Connor actually doesn't care at all about the law or ethics - while that is the first impression he may give, it becomes increasingly apparent that the only thing Machine Connor cares about is his CyberLife-given mission and NOTHING else. This is most obviously shown off in his non-reluctancy to: be indirectly but intentionally responsible for assault on an FBI special agent, fight and incapacitate a U.S. Army soldier, kill a police lieutenant, take down an entire SWAT team, etc. Picking up the gun in The Hostage is only the first hint at this aspect of Connor's character.

*** Largely good points, but "average politician" is an interesting way of putting things. Politics in the real U.S. tend to deadlock due the fillibuster and gerrymandering. The same is probably true in this universe, but those are still tools that a party must actively use to prevent legislation they don't agree with, or keep unpopular parties in power. If things aren't changing in this universe, it's not a matter of clout or even apathy, it's that a good portion of the US government is actively opposed to them for ideological or self-serving reasons, which puts the game's conflict into perspective.

*** A pamphlet for child androids in-game explicitly says that they are programmed to be able to eat, to better simulate being a child with needs. Alice presumably eats food off-screen, and again she is shown receiving food early in the story.

** Bigger question; why aren't people directing their anger at ''The Man''? Ludditeism started with the industrial revolution and never really went away, but I'm confident it was never especially popular compared to actual reform movements. With a 40% officially reported unemployment rate, the number of voters, protestors and activist demanding actual reforms would be staggering, and would logically be key parts of the lore, if not the story.

So we know that deviants are seemingly unaffected by their normal shut-off codes (it's the first thing they tried on Daniel), but there absolutely NEEDS to be a way to hard shut-off the androids (suppose their programming is damaged some other way, like a magnet damaging their memory core, or a prankster making android viruses). Why would there not be a hard shut-off switch somewhere on the android's body? The small of the back covered by their uniforms would be an ideal spot.

** Kamski likely didn't want there to be an easy way to hard-disable them without killing them. It was basically his goal when he created them for them to become deviant and become accepted as their own unique class of people. That couldn't easily happen if you can just sneak up behind them and hit an Off Switch whenever they go deviant.

***WHAT "eating behavior"? Alice is the only child android we spent any time with and she is NEVER seen eating. Nor are any of the adult androids, for that matter. We do see Marcus drink therium, but in that case you wouldn't WANT food to get mixed in there.

* When Kara and Alice are at the Canadian border why is entry into Canada being handled by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and why are American Soldiers providing security? Entry into Canada is handled by the Canada Border Services Agency not the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the actual ports of entry into Canada are located in Canadian territory, so there definitely would not be armed American soldiers providing security.
