You're not providing arguments for the thesis that their products are bad. You're providing arguments for the thesis that their products have gone worse than they were before. However, with all the ads and stuff that we don't like they still provide a lot of value for their users. Personally, I no longer use Windows, reddit or Facebook for these exact reasons — to me, these products no longer provide value. But I don't pretend that my tastes are shared by everybody else: a lot of people actually don't care about ads, they don't care about the fact that reddit is closing the API and they like the shitty memes that facebook is putting in their feeds.
