> why would you use such a sleazy company's product for daily driving

Because alternatives are much worse or not available for scenarios people need.

There, I've said the obvious.

That may sound obvious to you, but it's not for many, and this opinion of yours is shared by fewer and fewer people.

  • Some things not having viable alternatives on MacOS/Linux/BSD/whatever-else is not an opinion of mine. It's just life.

  • It should be a choice. They were or nearly were convicted for being a monopoly. For most users, they're not even aware there's a hardware/software distiction.

    MS-Windows GUI has cashed on this unawareness since 95. "My Computer", "The computer needs to restart"... Being deliberately incorrect to add to the existing confusion.
