Absolutely nothing docker has done contradicts this. You want docker desktop, you install docker desktop. You don’t, you don’t.

Docker has no obligation to provide a piece of software (for free!) with exactly the feature set you want. I can’t understand how anyone could think they do.

I installed the Docker Desktop I wanted. Then you reached into my machine, deleted it, and replaced it with something else I didn’t want. I don’t understand how anyone could think they have the right to do that. A desktop application is not a SaaS website. Docker Desktop is the thing it was when I downloaded it, not a piece of real estate on my machine for you to manage remotely as you see fit.

To clarify, you installed a piece of software with this capability. Thus, you did not install a piece of software you wanted.

Furthermore, Docker has the right to write software that functions and updates as they wish. You have the right to not install it. It's really that simple.

A lot of software today is auto-updating, where updates cannot be disabled, if they can even be delayed. It's the developers' choice whether they want their software to function like this, your choice whether you want to install it.

Sure it does. It updates the software automatically with seemingly no way of stopping the behavior without first paying a fee.

Regardless of the intent of the individual installing the software on their machine, once installed it absolutely executes on its own; there's no denying this.
