  If they want to run proprietary software, they have to deal with the consequences of running proprietary software.

    The parent did say "In a perfect world".
    • xigoi 4y ago
      In a perfect world, proprietary software doesn't exist, so there's no reason why you'd want to run it.
      • MichaelZuo 4y ago
        Why wouldn't it exist?
        • xigoi 4y ago
          Because in a perfect world, everything is (by definition) good, and proprietary software is bad.
          • MichaelZuo 4y ago
            This seems circular, why would proprietary software be 'bad' by default in a perfect world?
            • xigoi 4y ago
              Because being unable to see how software you're using is implemented is a bad thing.

                Why must proprietary software be opaque in a perfect world?
