Yeah, but another thing in common with them. - thinking their anecdotes matter.

What morality do you derive from creating competing works and throwing them out for free across from where someone is trying to make a living from similar product? -It's what GPL is all about, and Linus and RMS both live high off the hog instead of living to their commie ideals -the same way communist leaders do.

Sure, some developers find ways to monetize their work, but many don't and shouldn't have to. The ones that do are also catering to the competition while pretending to be competition (like Firefox). -As such, they end up playing politics instead of being run like a business.

I'm sure it's not counting those of us using the free version that comes with Windows.

The heat from use damages integrated parts equally. Laptops and phones are disposable and shouldn't waste on modularity because when one part goes, typically the rest follow. Modularity adds bulk weight and can interfere with cooling. A lot of those modules can be replaced by cheaper, and more convenient specialty cables.

Which helps contribute to resale value which contributes to initial sale value.

All the things that are easily disabled? -Sounds as foolish as having a distro for changing wallpaper, fonts and color scheme.

They do make a small profit off those phones, while you could've simply hit them where it counts with ad-blocking and tracker protection.
