I keep one Windows or Mac around always for work specific things, if Linux is unsupported I can switch. Heck you could get a free Windows dev VM from Microsoft (they rotate them out every 3 months).
You gotta accept Microsoft's licenses and EULAs and crap like that. Plus it's still spyware. No thanks

They are morons.
Maybe someday ReactOS will be usable fully as a Windows VM OS.
And in many ways, I'd be fine with that if they'd be up-front and honest about it.
Alas, Microsoft certainly is not. Cloudflare is not either. Many of these services just sit there and pretend like they're loading without showing any sort of error indication. Much like a tarpit but it's malicious on the business side and with little to no recourse on the real human side.
Cloudflare is not malicious, but is between a rock and a hard place. By caring about privacy you are, indeed, looking more suspicious. In a perfectly anonymous world, reputation-based captchas couldn't work. It's OK if you think they shouldn't exist, but Cloudflare customers and most people like them.
Everyone else is not on some secret plan to destroy the Linux Desktop, they just don't test their websites on linux/firefox (because "nobody uses that"), which makes them unusable, which causes people to drift off linux/firefox.
