I see this whole LG affair as a good thing. Windows users get shown how fucked up their OS and ecosystem is by this, and LG monitors will drop into the discount zone for users who have Linux and don’t have to deal with such shit.

In a sane world you would be correct. In this world you are dreaming, most of the people do not care.

most people do not care, until it personally affects them.
Then they will cry and wail about why anyone let it happen and why didnt anyone do anything to stop it.
