Yes... We all want stuff for free that costs money to make, essentially insisting everything be ad supported. Then we complain bitterly about the ads.

(Remember when MacOS and Windows updates cost over $100?)

This would be a more potent critique if I could still buy an ad-free OS from Apple or Microsoft.

Windows licenses still cost $100, and Apple's premium is well-documented by now. Neither are poor companies, both are simply greedy.
