Ha!

Have you seen the bloatware they ship with Windows? It somehow manages to be so much worse than base windows… it’s honestly much better if they don’t touch the OS at all, barring the absolute bare minimum of making sure input works.

I’m being cynical: I know some OEMs do make kernel contributions and such. Still, the “generic” support distros/chip makers provide for free is better, given their track record.
