They have the "apple" mindset, but only half-assed. Instead of making the best decisions and refusing people the option to change, they make whatever decision is easiest to implement and don't give users the option to change.

It's a trend in just about any massively profitable software. Useful settings are either extremely hard to find, such as with web browsers, or they don't exist at all.

They do this so they have less to maintain. As usual, "tell people what they want" instead of giving them what they want.

It's because it costs more to acquire new customers than it does to implement measures to ensure those that you have, can't leave.
