I am saying that it is not the individual company that is the main problem but the system that enables them to begin with.

They are the company who pioneered this shit, back in the day they had almost 0 competitors. There's no law forcing you to use steam. What you are saying is something among the lines that without microsoft some one else would be in charge of a proprietary os.

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying.

Edit: And with Microsoft it's even more apparent as there were large proprietary operating systems before Microsoft got big.
