It's about the bottom line and marketing for most companies. What they substitute for product quality and affordability is "added value service" and the brand identity. Unless you have money to burn, don't expect too much from companies who sell hardware and other tech stuff.
The whole bunch wants to scalp as much money from stupid people as they can get away with and keep cost of goods as low as possible and make customer service a nightmare.

No more world wars to drive innovation, and an unbalanced economic system that favours the elite.
It's a slow decline into worldwide poverty, disease and ghettoisation now buddy. You better hope your not in one of the megacity slums when the next plague breaks out, because those antibiotics aren't going to save you anymore.

totally agree with you OP
what do we do though?
Christopher Peterson
money. why do you think jobs are getting outsourced constantly and the entry barrier is at its lowest? you barely need a degree anymore for a tech job.

The greatest living programmer, Richard Matthew Stallman, lives his life by communist ideals. We'd be just fine with him guiding us.

Because of money. It's shitty people doing shitty things for the sake of shitty consumerism. Stop buying their products and be vocal regardless of what idiot white knight haters might say. The woman in this instance is the companies producing the garbage. They think because it has one good thing about it, that they can also, purposefully, tack on shitty things to it to basically make people buy moar. It's shit and it's why I stopped supporting them. Once this computer dies, it's game over.

I'm talking about family men and kids and shit. Nobody wants to spend a long time reading documentation and learning shit so they stick to Windows because it's too easy. It props Microsoft up as a god and continually slows the amazing potential of every Joe and Doe you know writing programs. No one needs to learn anything to use Windows so their curiosity and ambition just get stumped because it seems useless.

Business major or no business major what you're whining about is a basic tenet of a capitalist society.
If you're a socialist, that's great, but don't say you're a redpilled business major when that means jack shit to your opinion.

I'll take your bait user.
A kid, or normies or old people can't install shit on their pcs, be it windows, mac os, ubuntu or gentoo. I had my fucking sister (20yo back then) fail to install something like photoshop on windows. Normie people can barely use a pc more than to open a web browser and probably something like an office application despite being on any pc os. Normies just choose windows because they are used it's looks, and for some because games are made for it.
>No one needs to learn anything to use windows so their curiosity and ambition just get stumped because it seems useless. So what's wrong about it? Do you know how every part of a car works? The internals? Materials? Do you know the maths behind electrical or magnetic components you use on the stuff on your kitchen? If you really like something like cars or engines, you study mechanical engineering. If you really like computers, OSes, programming, you study something related to it. Most people just use them (cars/computers/fucking everything) because they serve a purpose for them. If they really like it then they will learn how it works.
