Bit weird to be so angry about this. The commenter is not 'basically just another marketer' because they have nothing (financial or otherwise) to gain from others using linux. They genuinely believe it is a better product and it is in your interests to use it.
Direct your anger at Microsoft if you feel as though you are being forced to do anything, they the ones choosing to enshitify Windows, and removing it as a viable option.
Nobody is attacking your free choice, they're literally trying to give you another option. That's what free choice is all about.
If you are making an informed devision to remain with windows as it gets worse and worse, then that is up to you, but don't come at people for trying to offer you an alternative just because you've made that decision.
Loser
You think people choose Microsoft Windows because of free choice? You know it's pre-installed on every computer right?
New users don't make an active choice. Windows is default. Alternatives are better than windows, but must be recommended to users so they know about it.
