    Device lock-in is a symptom of a wider issue: the users are not in control of their computing. Charging for services is fine but a company deciding what you are allowed to do with your own property is unjust.

    Change their post to say Microsoft’s old phone brand OS instead of desktop Windows and what changes? You don’t need to pick an equivalent to highlight a single aspect for comparison when arguing for a position.

      Microsoft old phone OS is not really relevant because I don’t even know if they make them anymore. My point was that Windows was picked to make a straw man argument. The argument will obviously stand because all other mobile devices and consoles are locked in.
