I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

I fully agree with everything you said. Especially the Windows 10 transition. I'm trying to never go Windows 11.

There was a cross post to Linux Lemmy a while ago from Mastodon claiming 'WiNdOwZ jUsT wOrKs" and Linux has too many issues with similarly no specific critique or shown effort of trying absolutely anything. And it just drives me crazy.

Microsoft is absolutely thrilled that we won't troubleshoot anything no matter how small because they like our data.
