lawsuit claims
It's right in the title. So you claim it is true. I can also claim that you sell my personal data. Doesn't make it true.
Let that lawsuit play out, and wait for the verdict.
a huge chunk, most likely the vast majority, of Electron apps [...] are just wrapped web sites

Don't forget that chrome is also censoring saved bookmarks and purging bookmarks to URLs that are on their naughty list - right now that's mostly piracy related things, but the precedence is set.
Your comment is a prime example of FUD.

TL;DR: Google is moderating public facing lists of links. Compare it to Lemmy moderators deleting illegal content in their communities.
You can still hate Google all you want, but please, don't just read the headlines.
while the usual stuff on Windows is pretty useless
"useless" or "useful" to you. That's my point. Someone who does not have any use for Libreoffice will get just as annoyed as you would get with a pre-linked Office-Suite.
When I last installed Windows I had to google where do download [...] On Linux most came preinstalled
You can't have it both ways.
On one day, you complain about all the so called "bloatware" that's preinstalled on Windows (more "pre-linked" and easily installed, and these "links" are easily deleted).
The next day, you complain that the specific subset of software you want to use is not preinstalled on Windows.
Lastly, the way you go about finding where to get your software, that's more of a philosophical question. Do I want someone else to curate a list of available software, or do I want to visit the publisher's website and get it directly from the source?
I did just that just yesterday/today. Built a new PC from scratch, added the SSD with Windows from the old PC, booted up, and it worked just fine. I didn't even need to reinstall the graphics driver.
Yes, you can always rent one when you need it.
If you need to tow something that heavy once a year, you are not buying a car for that.
"A lot of people"
Translation: "no one, it was me"
Thanks a lot!
right on que!
Also, pleeeaaase, someone find me that ancient image macro of a boy, maybe he had a moustache, or maybe it was drawn on, he was raising an eyebrow, and the only caption on it was "que?". I've been searching for that forever.
