The plan to rely on the presence of alternative OSes is only good so long as those OSes exist. They do today, but it is more of an exception rather than a rule. In a hypothetical scenario, where a signifcant portion of users switch to one of these alternative OSes, there will be an incentive to monetize. So I'd agree there should be rules what OS should and shouldn't do. And yes, it shouldn't be a fight with an enterprise entity, which has little incentive to restrict itself. It should be a lawmaker level discussion, unfortunately they are pursuing other agendas over there. |

Which is why it's better to choose an alternative that is open source, so that when they become evil, you can switch again. It's always been like that: we're fleeing from successful companies becoming evil. What has changed is that those companies have found a way to make it illegal for us to flee, and I suggest we fight against that.
