Good thing you don't even need to think about switching for another two years then.

Because you think they should pay more for a product they already bought or because privacy and security are not important?

I said they didn't have to think bout it for another two years...none of what you're saying makes sense in relation to that. Its good they don't need to worry about it (yet), because the issues it may cause them is still far away.

Two years isn't that long, and in 2 years Windows 11 will still be ass.

I'm on Linux, I'm not even relevant to this conversation.

Even less of an issue then, why the fuck care if Win11 sucks ass when you're not even part of their customer base.

Ironically, I am invested in Windows sucking ass, because it means more Linux users.
