No it isn’t, I refuted it in my next sentence.

You have denied it, not refuted it.

I don’t need to, simple market forces make that clear. If you have a free product that is easily available that outcompetes paid products, the market will shift to the free product. If it does not then it isn’t outcompeting the competition.

You don’t know shit about market forces either, and I’m ancap, LOL.

Why would you pay for McDonald’s if Smashburger was free?

If a ride to get Smashburger costs more in time and money than McDonalds. Or if I have certain health problems and there’s no diet Smashburger, but there’s something in McDonalds. Or many other examples.

The first example looks especially fitting if, say, McDonalds got the building with some special municipal permission and Smashburger couldn’t just buy something in similarly available place.

If the manufacturer has no interest in doing it, then who will?

You if you need it. Nobody’s going to do what you need for you. Adoption is not the only or the primary goal.

Are you fucking high? I really don’t even know how to respond to this.

You can respond with thanking me on your knees for taking time to explain how you look and not asking if you are fucking high.

Whining isn’t going to raise your ridiculous OS’s adoption rating, bro.

I’m not selling anything to you, bro.
