macOS... I have to use it at work unfortunately. It's truly the worst interface. Plasma is the best, then Windows, then Cinnamon, then Gnome.

Google drive/docs. I haven't found an actually good alternative (yet) so...
Proton drive is okay but if you rely on editing the docs online... That's a rough one

My phone and my phone plan. Haven't been that happy with it lately, but there's no need for me to buy a new one yet.
I dislike my location data being sold and collated with other data to build a profile on me.
Starlink, mostly because of Musk being Musk, but also because the replacement schedule of the satellites is against what I would prefer for a more sustainable service. Yeah I am well aware of why they replace them that often but I would rather they didn't.
I only use the service as I travel in a RV a lot, 4g/5g just cannot compete for high speed internet in the middle of nowhere or even the middle of somewhere, and that's with a proper roof mounted and powerful external aerial. Cost vs. Other mobile satellite services starlink is just massively cheaper for large amounts of data. It seems expensive compared to 4g or 5g but it really isn't when compared to satellite services.
Google play services, Discord, and Snapchat.

.. and why is that thing Windows, vi, or Ansible?
Every console I've ever had. I have a lot of games I like on the Gamecube, Nintendo Switch, Gameboy, etc. but all the games felt misplaced on the consoles that had to be used to play them. The only exception to this and the only one I ever genuinely liked was the Wii U, but Nintendo did a trash job with it and it really messed up how I was able to go about games in the future, since they made the Nintendo Switch overlap with the Wii U in terms of console generation.
Fucking Costco. Pay a membership fee to wait in the following lines to buy shit:
Parking, cart, entry, items, pay, receipt check, leave parking. You can't simple stop by for an item, its impossible..
