Say I buy a tomato. Tomato is sold to me as tomato, grown in a green house. It's a good tomato.

I bring it home and I cut into it to make salsa and find a razor blade. I didn't see any markings on the outside. I don't know how it got there.

I go back to the store and say, "Dude, what the fuck is up with the razor blade?!"

They say, "Oh, we noticed a lot of people buying tomatoes to cut them so we decided to include a razor blade! You're welcome!"

I say, "But I don't want a razor blade. I just want the tomato!"

They say, "Oh....that's too bad. We think you'll really like the razer blade."

I say, "I don't care. I want a tomato without razor blades."

They say, "ok. Just make sure you present this very specific, very distinct bar code to the check out person."

I go and buy another tomato, present the barcode.

I bring it home and it has a different type of blade inside it.

I go back to the store and they say, "Well, you opted out of blade model a. This is blade model b."

I consented to buy a tomato. Not to buy a razer blade.

I consented to install Windows OS, not fucking copilot, Cortana, Xbox central, etc.

I should have full control over my OS, regardless of who makes it. Even Ubuntu Linux had some sketchy adware that had to be removed (this was like Ubuntu 18 or something can't remember).
