Easily amused, you might say.

yeah, but now it's even funnier to read complaints about Swift-plane memes.

At this point, I’m just so sick of every little thing being a huge struggle

Suffering is inevitable. This is the first noble truth in Buddhism. Troubleshooting Linux is Tao.

Hardly ever use Windows myself, but I'm pretty sure you can just download it from Microsoft and refuse all the nags to register it when you are installing it.

Concur. Also long time user here - but prefer to skip the data collection bit. Imagine showing up at the dentist some day and being chided for missing your back molars last Tuesday.

The primary use case is for making sure kids and elderly loved ones are brushing their teeth and keeping the brush charged. Also supposedly senses if all teeth are being properly cleaned, although based on reviews that sounds like a stretch. But yeah, the aggregated data is probably marketable somehow - I didn't check their privacy policies.

Electric toothbrushes are a thing. It's understandable that the vendors would like a rationale to track usage. Not beyond the bounds of possibility that in ten years it may be impossible to buy an electric toothbrush that doesn't track usage and try to phone home to report it.
