Some people do think that the society we exist in is just part of the natural order and that it's vain to try to change it or even care about it. I had an ex that was like that: whenever I tried talking about politics with her she would just go "What's the point of talking about it, we can't change anything anyway"

The UD absolutely could, but Microsoft couldn't without facing massive legal trouble. That is, if the US legal system follows through and actually enforces EU court orders.

Regardless, unless specifically being forced to do so by the US, Microsoft wouldn't have any reason to leave a billions-dollars market
