It's so funny watching people have this problem for a literal decade, and they're still complaining instead of using FOSS.

if you think FOSS makes anything better for the average user, especially UX, I have a bridge to sell you.

Do you have any specific notable examples? In my experience, FOSS tends to take a more no-nonsense approach to things.

How does a product that defaults to its own proprietary for-profit offerings providing a better user experience?

The argument I hear most of is that people are just used to what they've used in the past, and having difficulty moving to an alternative because of that isn't indicative of the alternative offering worse UX, but rather an unwillingness to learn anything by the user.

A lot of people are also just dumb. FOSS won't fix dumb.
