Being pedantic, but OP is merely the sharer of the reddit user’s take.
Although the point can seem to be missed in what I say, that the reddit user is making here - Microsoft merely made complex computing extremely accessible with an incomprehensible amount of backwards compatibility to this date. Everyone cannot be pleased, and we happen to be that group that can learn and take care of ourselves, unlike the tech illiterate users with no interest in computing. I doubt that humanity would have done any better if it was someone else instead of Microsoft, and even as a socialist, I can acknowledge the insane level of condensed advancements we have made due to roughly 20ish years of specific products (Windows, MS Office) made by these ultracapitalist tech corporations is helping shape the future planning of society and tech.
Ignore the rambling
