The reason people use terms like tech feudalism is not to escape blaming capitalism, but to highlight the way capitalist systems are creating social structures akin to the common perception of feudalism.
That makes sense, but i think there's bleed over to libs using it as "capitalism was great, but now its tech feudalism." The same way they used corporatism and crony capitalism to act like its a deviation from their platonic ideal of capitalism that they're sure totally existed once but not now
There will be bleed over with any term into liberals making excuses for capitalism. They manage to do it even with terms like intersectionality. I don't think that fact precludes the usefulness of of the tech capitalists desire to create a dependent working class in a closed and controlled system.
I still think “techno feudalism” is a misleading term that is a great tool for revisionists and liberals.
