I guess cinder blocks make good mouse habitat?

Putting the responsibility to understand legalese (and advanced concepts like rootkits) to such an extent on the end user is just straight gaslighting. Nobody has the required expertise to determine what an EULA actually says outside of the lawyer who wrote it, and even then, I wouldn't guarantee it.

Most people are not fully cognizant of the rights they sign away in a click through. There is paranoid and there is prudent.

And these days people just install the rootkit, only it's allegedly to prevent game cheating.

That doesn't sound like Torvalds at all. The guy doesn't suffer fools, but he doesn't just pop off at people randomly. All accounts are that he's a pretty chill dude.
