Ah, the usual take. Want to sign everything before it can run, but take responsibility for nothing. And when in doubt, well, the computer did it.
When do we start calling out this crap?

It's not the computer that did it. Microsoft did it. Microsoft enabled random hardware with random strings in their connection protocol metadata to point to software on the internet that Windows happily downloads and installs.
Strangely, nobody who runs linux has this problem.
Perhaps because windows "drivers" are so bloated with helper apps and other stuff that they can't possibly all be shipped to end users with the core OS.
You'd get better results starting a conspiracy theory about it which took hold within right-wing circles, but it's less work to just not use it.
