But then you have windows 11 where it takes about 5-10 whole minutes to get rid of all the defaults that point to Edge, and even then some things, like help pages links and the start menu's search bar will keep openning Edge.
You of couse have google phones where chrome and google search are shoved to each one of your home pages and to the global phone search bar.
At that point you need to wonder - are people just being lazy, or do those companies make it just hard enough, and often impossible, to not use their pre-defined defaults?
It's both.
Remember when Apple introduced the iOS update to stop cross-app-tracking?
One popup that asks the user if they want to allow this tracking or not, and would you look at that, the majority clicked NO.
People do care, they're just too lazy, even if they're aware.
