"We should have a framework that prohibits companies from selling a product with a certain agreement, then changing the agreement unilaterally"

That isn't trying to make a difference? Excuse me? Read that back.

The framework already exists, it says to return the product and ask for a refund.

You can claim detrimental reliance though, but it's a stretch and bad faith imo. Try your luck with a judge and attorney fees

The framework that exists is crap and should be replaced with something where you as a consumer should not have to watch the eula changes like a hawk, and then the onus should not be on you as a consumer to do extra work to get refunded for a bait and switch.

The legal system is crap and should be replaced? I'm out of this discussion, go do a revolution or keep me out of it.

It's unfortunate that you see "incremental improvement" to be completely and uniquely equal to "revolution". The legal framework can be updated.

Not allowing giant corporates to do bait and switches with impunity is not a revolution.
