I would say mandatory use increases popularity (by definition), but also that we don't know why Node took off when it did.

but anyway "mandatory usage" is a sufficient example. We know a lot about adoption!

I think "more people use something after they're forced to use it" is knowing very little.

Other things we think of as good for adoption (like performance) correlate much less well with actual adoption.

I think that's the wrong conclusion, but "we don't know what aspects of the tech affect human behavior" is the right one.
