  They’re not acting against their users, it’s just that non-enterprise consumers are a complete afterthought. I.e. less of a “fuck you” to individual consumers and more of a “who the fuck do you think you are?”.

  Why market or design an OS for individual consumers when the majority of your revenue is going to come from volume licensing by manufacturers that are fulfilling bulk purchases from corporate America/higher-ed?

  I don’t think it’s AI aversion. The problem is that Windows 11 guts the muscle memory that older consumers have built up from using prior generations of Microsoft Windows.

  If a company is going to dick my over by suddenly changing/hiding/abstracting-away parts of their OS that I used to (an am used to) use on a daily basis, then I’d rather relearn a new OS from a company that doesn’t have the track record of totally redoing their entire OS in the course of a single OS generation.

  If I also have a little bit more disposable income and am anticipating a poor economic downturn, I’m going with the device that I can go to a physical brick-and-mortar place and have it serviced as opposed to the crap shoot that is any other Windows-licensed manufacturer’s device.

  In what way does this imply stupidity?
