What about "INSTALL A DIFFERENT OS!!!!!"? Is that better? There are reasonably two others to choose from, and one of those doesn't require the purchase of expensive equipment and arguably a path into an even more controlled ecosystem.
And your analogy is way off. This isn't a malfunction of Windows that a technician is going to fix, never to be seen again. This is more like a rep from the car manufacturer meeting you at your car every morning to ask if you want to install their factory upgrade. You tell them that you never want to see them again, so next week they start sending a different representative. You have no other options.
Well, except getting a free car that doesn't send a rep.
Yeah but the free car requires an hour of troubleshooting every time you get in
