@veronica I see many of these "sacrifices" as net benefits.
- Not having Microsoft Office forces people to use Open Standards like OpenDocument!
- Not implementing proprietary codecs almost exclusively harms value-removing Rentseekers like MPEG-LA!
- Lack of tight integration means Freedom of Choice.
- Not having a bloated garbage App available forces corporations to maintain proper websites.
- Not supporting Malware like "Client-Side Anticheat"*and *Always-Online "DRM" is a win for consumers.
The issues encountered can all be attributed to corporations being assholes as in actively antagonizing consumers!
- I've yet to see any exception to that [and ableism] in real - life!
