Proprietary software not working isn't a bug, though. It's by (their) design. The people selling it choose not to make it work.

Regardless, that is a friction they experienced when switching, regardless of who was at fault.

You're technically 100% correct. Yet it will not change my experience at all, like the other person said.

If proprietary tech isn't developed for it, how would you get the masses to use it? Windows is almost entirely enterprise now, too.
