That’s a weird stance to take since the discussion was about file permissions, and there are absolutely ways around Windows protecting system files just like there are ways around Linux doing the same thing.
There are many reasons to criticize Microsoft, but making it difficult for users to fuck up system files isn’t one of them. Most users are of the “it’s a box filled with magic smoke” variety, and they need to be protected from themselves.
Oh we absolutely can throw shade at MS when they use the very same schemes to install “features” you cannot turn off or applications you cannot uninstall.
FUCK MS for deciding what invasive spyware-I-mean-features to turn on with no recourse for the average user.

I’m not sure what that has to do with my comment.
