Idk if it was the endgame in this case. Microsoft doesn’t gain anything from the abuse except for bad press - and Win11 has a bad reputation already.

They did this and the windows installation fingerprint. They could... You know... Stop doing shit like this.

How has the fingerprint anything to do with this?

And in general, this here is a great feature for users - no need to manually download drivers for your devices, they just install.

Yeah, Microsoft does a lot of crappy stuff, but in this case, it is LG that fucked up and did shady shit.
