I mean yeah but capitalism made it such that everybody needs a little fucking advertisement mind control spying machine in their pocket. Without capitalism I wouldn't have a smartphone and if I did, I would at least actually own the thing.
Then, well, do? Don't buy crapple or android? Linux-phones are out there. They can't compete yet, but they're yours. Like it always should've been.
If PCs would sell without admin-password and with an uninstallable windows, they wouldn't sell very well. The imagination of that alone sounds so absurd to me.
