Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Buying technology used to be like plucking a ripe apple from a tree. You see, you take, you enjoy.
Lately, I liken the process to gutting a fish. You now have to skillfully dispose of the unwanted bits, and it always comes with unwanted bits.
Edit: okay, you have to pay extra for the "professional" version to go back to a less encumbered experience. It's still bad though.
And that's just computers. Cars and phones, man, holy crap.
To take your fish analogy, it's like "Well maybe 5% of your catch is NOT laden with innumerable parasites, but they're the only thing that lives here and we gotta eat so...."
Edit: "But I heard there's a new breed that not full of parasites!"
"Yeah but those don't seem to migrate here and if they do they either don't thrive or get eaten by these bloated monstrosities."
Or choose open-source, which is either plucking the apple, or planting the whole orchard from seeds and tending it for years. Coin toss.
Pfft! Don't like it? The code to the DNA is right there in the treepo.
The pro version is still pretty encumbered, pirate the LTSC version if you want unencumbered.
