No. Why was Windows 7 so insecure? Microsoft is still printing money. It sold this operating system—made $ billions.https://twitter.com/ianbetteridge/status/863055192975167488 …

They made billions and billions in profits, and had decades and decades. I'm not judging them on a curve like that.https://twitter.com/ianbetteridge/status/863056864300421120 …

Yes! We should absolutely hold responsible a car company that didn't ship brakes and seatbelts.https://twitter.com/ianbetteridge/status/863058459616530439 …

The tech world wants all the profits, none of the responsibility. The whole thing is set up to fail people, but never hurt profits.
Of course software has bugs. Don't tell me that as if you just learned it. We've known this forever. That's why the set up is unacceptable.
This is a wildly misplaced argument. You're asking for bug-free software while absolving corps that didn't bother deploying the bug fixes
I am doing neither. Everyone should update their software. Everything has bugs. But it's not that simple for multiple reasons.
First, the update system is set up to fail users, and sometimes forces people to trade privacy for (newer) more secure OS.
2-It's been decades and we still don't have properly sandboxed operating systems, and software sold with zero liability. These are linked.
Sure, it would be costly to do things and somehow properly incentive users and be transparent. But that is the actual product.
Meanwhile, Microsoft is sitting on $100 billion cash hoard, and children's ambulances are being diverted. There are paths forward.
But the paths forward require spending real money to get whomever is still not on it to Win 10; to stop pushing privacy/security trade-off.
