Yeah, for all the Spyware and advertising they've put into the OS over the years. Requires regular maintenance to change the invasive ads they show you.

They're not nuking every copy of windows 10 when the service lifetime ends. They're just not working on it anymore. If you think the regular maintenance is just updating the spyware and ads, you should be stoked.
