    I feel like "hostile software architecture" is a term we should establish.

    Google and Facebook are the absolute masters of this, since all their profit comes from it in one way or another.

    Designing applications specifically with the goal of squeezing as much data out of users and making privacy as hard as they can is probably the most "successful" example of hostile software architecture.

    Designing around displaying ads would be another one that goes hand in hand.
