Because I do all kinds of things with my OS that they probably didn’t consider when they were locking things down. I enjoy the freedom and flexibility of a desktop OS while I’m on a desktop. Even Mac OS drives me up the walls sometimes.
Well yeah… We are not saying is for everyone.
Like it’s nice for less technical people were it’s more difficult for them to fuck it up or get confused with technical stuff and they do not need anything advanced or sometime that flexible, just a couple of apps an a browser.
Yeah it would probably be great for someone like my mother. She’s an expert at breaking her operating system and anything to lock her system down would be helpful. I’m sure there are millions of people who never do much more than read emails, browse the web, and maybe do some spreadsheet work, and it would be great for them too. For me, I like control. I use Arch on my laptop and Pop on my gaming computer so that I’m not constrained by whatever Microsoft or Apple are currently trying to simplify with their OS.
Edit: I also stopped using Windows because it’s becoming pretty similar to spyware and adware these days, and every time you turn all that stuff off, they turn it back on with the next update. I reached my wits end about 3-4 years ago and dumped Windows completely for everything except Fusion 360.

Edit: phone changed Max to Max.

But what is the typical “laptop user”?
Viruses basically dont exist on Android

That sounds like a lot of FUD.
