I wonder how many anti-Zionist Jewish groups get affected by things like these.
In a way Japan is both innovative and conservative when it comes to technology and business. There are still business practices going on there which have been phased out in "the west". If you look at the Japanese music industry for example it's both 21st century and stuck in the 1990s for some reason.

Most FOSS alternatives tend to be a significant step back for folks used to their closed source industry counterparts like for example Adobe. The available video editing software is either a step back or closed source (DaVinci Resolve).
It's probably the proverbial chicken-and-egg situation.
Just wondering: what ads?
I've seen some stuff about ads when installing Windows (about personalisation of ads), but other than suggested apps after a fresh install (certain games and apps). I've never seen any ads in windows itself.
Granted, I do offline installs without Microsoft accounts and do use stuff like ShutUp10 and Windows debloater.
"Saving face" is a big thing in their culture, as well as in other Asian cultures.
This sounds like a nightmare.
