Because telemetry is a privacy invasion, the UX is constantly worsening, artificial update barriers exist, and finally the entire concept of an app store for a PC OS is simply the cherry on top of the FU cake.
- p_ing 2y ago> and finally the entire concept of an app store for a PC OS is simply the cherry on top of the FU cake. macOS has had an App Store for quite some time which according to what you're saying, should lead to a dwindling market share, some how. Not that the author provides any of their assertions are factual, so there's that.

- thewebguyd 2y ago> Because telemetry is a privacy invasion I wish his was a major reason for more folks to dump windows, but the majority of "normies" don't even know what telemetry is or that windows is sending data, let alone what data it sends. Windows will fall, eventually, but not because of some sudden end-user awareness of its enshitification, it will fall because overall desktop/PC sales are falling as more and more people continue to use and have only mobile devices as their primary computing device, whether phone, tablet, or maybe a Chromebook. The last niche for computers are devs, gamers, and users of pro tools (video & photo editing, audio production, CAD, etc.). Time will tell who wins these spaces, but I sure hope it's not going to be windows.
