On youtube I see tons of avatars and mentions of clippy, the oldscool windows help tool. Are they protesting something?

That is not true. The cycle is that someone with passion for the business creates the business and they are a good business. Than they grow and the creator can't handle it anymore, because they are craftsmen, not business men. Than some business men step in and eshittify everything for profit.

The MS of the late 00s and the MS of now are no different ideologically. If they'd had the same tools and capabilities then, they'd have done the same.
