I wish I was a billion dollar company who gets away with stuff like this. Just generally break people's systems, add spyware, lie to users, treat them like shit.

All while making even more money and my stocks keep on going up, because AI, Ai, Ai...

Gamers are not the only people that use Windows. A lot of creative and commercial software either requires Windows or works best on it.

I think Windows is garbage as much as everyone else here, but switching is not that easy.

It's pretty easy for 80 (90)+% of competent computer users, get an old Macbook for that stuff (it'll probably be better) and switch your main to linux. The real problem is less competent computer users.

Evil isn’t the real threat to the world. Stupid is just as destructive as Evil, maybe more so, and it’s a hell of a lot more common. What we really need is a crusade against Stupid. That might actually make a difference. - Jim Butcher

Fair enough. I suppose my point is at some point, people are going to have to start making sacrifices and say "enough is enough" or nothing is going to change. There's no incentive for companies to de-enshittify or support new platforms as long as people keep accepting the ever-worsening status quo. Change is hard, I'll agree.
