It’s sarcastic because you obviously aren’t an idiot for buying a lifelong license to a product.

If anything most of the time it’s supposed to be the right choice (I’m only talking about licenced product, not ownership).

Especially if it’s a tool you use regularly.

At no point these people where supposed to “know better and not buy this”. Microsoft just did a rugpull.

I wasn’t aware of all the bullshit these companies were doing back in 2019, but I recall it wasn’t full blown enshittification yet.

For your second ask, it doesn’t make it better or lesser, it just adds shock value, engagement baiting.

I think it’s just sarcastic
