Your OS silently installs malware. Doesn't get much worse than this.

Your OS is malware, if it's Windows.
Windows may not be the best OS for you but it definitely isn't malware.
If Windows continually supports third parties installing malware (without your consent and through Windows update, not some third party updater), at what point can the OS itself be considered malware?
The OS itself already does way worse things than what this LG adware does.
Windows today would have been considered malware in the 90s. This frog hasn't been boiled.
Windows 11 already managed the installation without consent part for many users.
What is the evidence that Windows isn't malware?
