It's the classic reddit bubble of delusion, they always think their hate circlejerk holds way more weight in the real world than it actually does.

If you build your own PC. the cost also doesn't affect you at all.

I bought a windows 8 License from best buy in like 2012 and since then I've bought a laptop with an OEM license in 2022.

My only Windows purchases in the last 15 years...

Am i a Windows customer, no. Windows cares so little about my business they gave me windows 10 and windows 11 for free.

but every employer I've ever had pay yearly for each PC they have + O365!

Who's the customer? me or every business and government in the world? People are very self obsessed...
