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.
There's no need to get offended. Replace MS with MacOS and the point stands.
But they don't know about Windows? Do you have any idea what Windows market share looks like?
They didn't single anything out. It was one on many potential examples (such as MacOS).
