I've lost count of how many times Microsoft, and many other big tech companies, hindered me from doing something I wanted to do on a device that I own or "security" reasons while it had absolutely nothing to do with security and everything to do with forcing their users to comply with their business model.
You really shouldn't believe the Corporate bad faith arguments used to justify anti-consumer practices. They are complete bullshit.
My job has radicalized me against windows, the settings are factory reset quite frequently due to updates or reimaging so I'm constantly resetting every single option just to get it back to a continent state (Who in their right mind thinks centered task bar icons is a good thing!?!?!)
