The choice to "opt out", while charming and appealing in its way carries unfortunately huge consequences, as most of the world of work is tech now, and if you want to work you just have to be on board.

If some of the other devices and systems that we enjoy were as fragile and failure-prone as a Windoze PC, we would just not stand for it. It can be made better, but it isn't. Curiously, MAC is trying to lower it's formerly high standards of operation and customer satisfaction by forcing people into OSX and removing the option of their using the preferred OS9. Also, recent versions of their machinery are less and less reliable. Perhaps they are tired of customers??

And one doesn't really have options in the marketplace like one does with cars, toasters, or musical instruments. It's "Windoze-way, or the highway." In a "same thing only different" kinda way, this is like so many other environments where it will take a huge uprising by a sizable chunk of the victims to force change. Computer consumers, voters, homeowners with HOAs, and such are just not likely to do that. So the unreasonably low quality is allowed to persist.
