I understand your position, but they correctly support their device on linux, I'm sure they can do it on other OS's.

I think this is a good step. But people not buying it and pressuring the vendor to correctly support the device is not mutually exclusive.
We must consider that it is lack of knowledge and complacency from users that incentivizes vendors to act in such an abusive way.
Sorry to sound stallman-like. I just wanted to raise attention to an important point that is mostly ignored.
