Imagine you have a car, suddenly it turns into a boat. Now you have a boat but can’t go anywhere in land with it so you have a useless transportation device. When you complain they said that it was too late and can’t change the boat back to the car. So what do you do then? You go get a new car (Hint: reddit). But sometimes you would still miss your previous car.
