Or, hear me out here, you could use an OS that doesn't have all that shitfuckery built in the first place.

Absolutely. Unfortunately a lot of software still only works on Windows. Particularly in industrial settings.

Yeah, but the more customers demand Linux versions, the more likely companies will be to produce them.
