The user wants convenience, and then, under the premise of convenience, corporations create systems that give them the convenience they want in exchange for their privacy and freedom.
Being spied on, having forced updates, a remote kill switch on your computer, "telemetry", advertisement, and the best of all: your government being bullied and lobbied on with the money you paid... it is all worth it because you can run a stupid DirectX game at 60 fps instead of 58 fps. Until the forced update interrupts your game, that is.

Why do you expect a corporation to care about your privacy or well being? They would be using small children, paying them a loaf of bread a week making it illegal to not do business with them if they could. People have rights and equality before the law , corporations not so much.
