1. Nf3 now the only opening where the most common response is to copy

Amazing that it’s come to this
In the old days everyone started with copying lol
lol
e4 e5, d4 d5, c4 c5 all second most common 😞
c5 is the 4th most common. I doubt it ever was the most common
It does make a lot of sense. The most versatile move, countered with the most versatile response. Compared to the other copy-cat lines, when black is just worse

You should stop smoking that thing - whatever it is.

What i mean is that black doesn't have as many options as with 1.Nf3 Nf6, and usually white is better in most lines

What is the most common move 1 by Black in all openings combined?
If the answer is Nf6, should be called "copying" or making a good move?
