    Vendor lock in is a myth.

    You’ve never worked in a company stuck using Oracle software or AWS, have you?

    Vendors stopped selling Linux pre-installed because it cost them more in returns and support.

    Hmm… consumers buying products inadequately explained to them and returning them because they can’t run the Windows-only software they’re expecting and already familiar with. Sounds a bit like lock-in, doesn’t it?

    Older people tend to know better the evils of communism and don’t need to be developers to be against FOSS.

    “FOSS = communism = bad” and
    “I’m older and therefore correct”

    Yeah, I’m not even going to dignify that asinine take by responding to it. Enjoy your proprietary software.
