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."
