The OP is very negative in tone[1], although curious. I think the person you’re responding to provided a solid answer to OP’s question, whilst imbuing their answer with a reasonable response to OP’s tone.

[1] "(badly)", "always some startup with no good will", "Electron" (arguably), "filled it full of always-online trackers"

It’s not negative to state the facts - all of those things are true.
The point is that you can choose which facts to present. In any case, “(badly)” is clearly an opinion and not a fact.
More trackers and "one more standard utility in electron" are both objectively bad trends that need to be pushed back on.
it is indeed a fact. if it isnt, show one that does it well.
I think you need to define what your definition of "fact" is, because it clearly deviates from how "fact" is normally used.

No, those are not facts

Also no good will is also an opinion.
I missed the memo announcing those are illegal.
Not at all, but it isn’t a fact
negative in tone? so what? I already acknowledged the critical opinion. that much is allowed.
