> 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.

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.
