If a trend is morally questionable, no honorable entity would follow it.

Furthermore, since Windows is so prevalent, you're gonna have an hard time using something else. Given you're neither tech savvy, or rich, which most people aren't.

So no, there are no excuses for a company this large to have such malpractices, we're talking about a private company with more power than many small nations.

Yep, I agree.

The issue would be to discern between honourable and dishonourable (or shameless) entities, but there starts the domain of concessions to convenience, and PR.
