I am conceding that point (the "but ok" part). Maybe I could have expressed it better.

Please note, that in my analogy the hotel has input in which restaurant is allowed (opposite of your scenario). There are also not infinite Crowdstrike-like offerings, only a few. Same thing applies to the hotel, yes, only limited by the surface of the building and cultural norms.

I any case, the analogy cannot please everyone, and I can see how there are some errors with it in some aspects. In others, I consider it accurate. Using an analogy is an invitation to nitpick on it, so it is my fault really, but I could not resist.

There are other points in the analogy that I feel reflect very well how ridiculous it is to claim Microsoft has no responsibility whatsoever. IMO they do have at least partial responsibility. One cannot simply excuse them "because EU".
