Here is a fact: as long as you talk about workarounds, people stay on a hostile platform. Maybe better to actually teach people to fish and not be suckers.
Here is one of my strongest held opinions:
You should not lie to get people on your side.
If your arguments are not good enough, then perhaps it is better to let people do what they are used to.
No disagreement about lying to get people on your side. That was not necessary. But also, the arguments even without the lie are still good. Microsoft shouldn't have to lie too, to discourage people from having more control over their machines.
