Microsoft reneged on promises it made in court…

If those promises aren’t legally binding, then why take them into account in the first place?

I will literally never understand why the word of a corporation has any weight if it isn't bound by law.

You need to force corporations to act if it's against their own interests.

It is because the billionaires write the laws through ALEC. The only part of the system which isn't working as intended is that they had to make any promises in the first place.
