Microsoft is doing the same thing, they call it S-mode. A surprisingly large amount of computers are sold with Windows S. Thankfully S-Mode can usually be disabled even if your computer shipped with it enabled. Windows S mode is a streamlined version of Windows designed for enhanced security and performance, allowing only apps from the Microsoft Store and requiring Microsoft Edge for safe browsing.

  The same is true on Android.

    Did you visit that link? The top-downloaded apps on the Microsoft Store are 50% scams, compared to 0% on the Play Store and App Store.
