You are not being realistic you are being stupid. You are indeed defending a evil corporation and a billionare with a fleet of mega yachts by stating that their work is necessary. They are needed for what? For a long time before they rolled in and started misleading kids tossing money in marketing you didn't need a third party proprietary launcher to run software and you still don't need it now.

Where did I say they are necessary? Where did I say you need a proprietary third party launcher?

What other statements do you want to put in my mouth?
