That word always¹ sounds to me like its only point is to sneak in the connotation that what's usual must therefore also be desirable.
“Normal is a cycle on a washing machine.”
My point is you mostly don't get to choose what's normal whether it's good or bad, so might as well consider adapting to it*. If you come up with a less disagreeable expression of usuality that fits this case, I'll make the switch.
*this obviously applies only if this fits your other goals
I'm torn between upvoting this comment for the footnote and upvoting this comment for the insight. Decisions, decisions.
