You should be more worried about Google and Facebook tracking your spatial and temporal data than Microsoft racking fees from Android OEMs.

I'm not sure how that's relevant to the topic at hand. Do you think I'm not ranting on Google or Facebook's behavior? If you'll look at my history, I'm doing it all the time.
But this is some sort of fallacy. Does the existence of other companies that engage in bad behavior somehow exempt Microsoft or makes them less bad?
And in case you're not up to date, Microsoft is also collecting your data and they forced that upgrade on all Windows users, in addition to behaving like patents trolls. So what's your point?
Its possible that Google, Facebook, and Microsoft are all bad actors, all at the same time. The existence of problems at one of them does not preclude criticism of the others.
