Say what you will about Apple but I don't have to put up with this insane shit at least on their computers. I really wonder how long they hold out on this stuff.

You have to deal with different shit thought. Source: been using both Windows and Mac for over 20 years now.

Yeah for sure they both have their pros and cons, I've used both extensively. This just happens to be something that would particularly fucking infuriate me and I'm glad I don't have to deal with it on my daily driver.

Sorta feels like someone kicking the door into your house and tacking up billboards on your walls or something.

The problem with Apple is that it's not your computer. It's their computer and they get to dictate everything you do on it.

Their phones maybe? But not really Macs..... You can have full root access, edit system files, replace the OS, whatever.
