People say to me go look for it and I can only see the absurd of proprietary software that they use, such windows, Microsoft word, outlook etc.

These are all spyware, talking to a health care professionals is talking with Microsoft too.

Your logic is all fun and games until you find out that your MRI machine doesn't have software for anything but Windows. Or that the software required to read and EKG is Windows only. Most of those devices tend to be isolated computer that don't even touch the internet and run some older version of Windows. Some of them have years of uptime on Windows XP Embedded or Windows 10 LTSC and it isn't now they'll suddenly fail.
