Why do all the comments use language indicating that people are forced to use software features they don't like? Are people truly so weak willed that the mere existence of something causes enslavement to it? There is always the option to walk away. In light of that fact, all this whining is just unseemly.

Because in many of the examples people are, in fact, literally forced to use software features they don't like. The ability to turn off broken/misguided features only exists if the developer included a special option for that (rare) or if the software is open source (also rare).
