    There are free OS alternatives out there (which I suspect you already use but just want to poop on other’s parade).

    I assume that if someone’s already using Windows, a paid OS, they are willing to pay $2 to make it usable.

        Almost everyone pays for Windows. Notice how computers that let you not include it in the order get cheaper.

      I prefer if persistent, high-permission code running on my machine is FOSS, and support the devs if I see it’s useful

        I prefer it too, but if something works well and saves me time and effort for $2, I don’t make a big deal out of it. I also need to accomplish things other than monkeying around with my computer.
