It's not so clear cut that you should be thankful. The ability of companies to dictate the terms of which users can use their software, affects their risk calculation to produce the product in the first place. It is very likely that very useful but imperfect software will not be written because the risk / reward balance is tilted.
Remember, you always have the ability to reject an EULA; simply don't use the product.

Consumers can make value choices on quality vs cost. This is a basic market function.

- paulie_a 8y agoAs a customer I've found just ignoring all EULAs to be effective on the flip side. They are meaningless in my opinion and I don't give a crap about what it says. I'll use the software as I want.
