No one has been forcing any of the users to give them money. The users are giving them money because they get value out of purchasing their products.

Not true. As a Linux user I have many times been forced to give them money for software I delete as my first step on a new PC.

Can you give an example? Generally speaking, when you buy hardware with bundled software, the hardware is cheaper because the software company is paying the hardware vendor to bundle, effectively subsidizing some of your cost.

I feel a little forced but for context I currently work in the games industry.
