There is something to installing crapware: that way they get the user to
provide their data to them so they can sell it.

Most consumers make the uninformed choice there because it is easier to accept
what you are given than to learn better. To the few that make an informed
choice and still go with the preinstalled data mining, more power to them.

I bring this up because you can see precisely the same behavior in every single
industry. ie. if the structure construction codes in your country are
steel-centric, you will build houses and buildings with steel because that is
easier than justifying a construction project with any other material.Or, a
more recent example: if the power infrastructure of your country is designed in
such a way that the easiest way is to deploy solar without backup batteries, it
will be harder to get solar with batteries to back them up. Power supply
contracts, handouts and supplies just won't contemplate. As an end result
people buys into inefficient solar generation schemes rather than expend extra
in systems that actualy solve problems.
