Put another way: Quit being bone-headed dumbasses, pull your heads from your rectums and do the RIGHT and CORRECT things.
But the right and correct things aren't as profitable.
Microsoft want to record everything about you and your habits as data to sell. They don't give a damn about you and will only change when forced to by a government, or fined millions a day for non-compliance.
Even then, you as a US citizen may not benefit from consumer-friendly changes enforced by the EU commission - just look at Windows N and KN to comply with EU and SK rulings against Microsoft. Not only did Microsoft continue to push the full-fat versions of Windows out (along with all their monopolistic, preference-ignoring bullshit that lost them the cases against the EU and SK governments), they merely offered
the option to use a compliant version that wasn't 'ram our bullshit down your throat' variants in those regions.
As someone who installed a ton of Windows N, I regret that decision; Microsoft insidiously cut out a lot more of the underlying framework than they were told to, crippling the OS beyond what the ruling mandated and made use of third-party apps far more difficult than the regular version where you could just switch your browser/player/viewer back to what you preferred every 6 months after Microsoft briefly hijacked your PC and reset all your choices. What they did with Windows N was complied,
spitefully and vengefully to the
letter of the law whilst completely refusing to comply with the spirit of the law. The only people who they satisfied with those versions were the lawyers!
