> Plenty of people have software, hardware, or other requirements to use Windows.
I'd bet that the average person could run most if not all the software they use under linux and a large percentage of those who can't could find alternate software that works just as well for their needs which does run under linux. Hardware might be more of a concern, so for some "stop using Windows" might mean "buy a new desktop/laptop". There will certainly be a very small (and increasingly smaller) number of people who have zero choice but to use Windows. Many people do very little with their windows machines beside web browsing in the first place.
> "Stop using Windows or live with it" are not the only two options.
It very much is if "live with it" means MS does thing you don't like, you find a bunch of settings and registry changes that "fight back" only for MS to undo those settings and/or add more things you don't like which means you have to track down a new set of settings and registry changes to "fight back" which results in Microsoft doing more things you don't like and on and on.
Is that really what you want to live with? At a certain point you have to ask yourself why you keep spending your time and energy fighting a battle you literally cannot win. Microsoft sets all the rules. You can only play their game or stop playing
