Speaking for myself, I have experienced that improvements and enhancements often cone with deleterious code that cause unwanted and sometimes catastrophic changes in the operating system, ads, software bugs, the great its spyware, many other changes of mysterious origin every computer user has lost sleep over. The solution has always been, "Backup your your data often," but that is not the solution. Fundamental trust had been lost and to regain it the software industry must not only be devoted to marketing but to marketing software that delivers on its promises, including simpler EULA language that is less lengthy and that doesn't evade responsibility.
The CIA's and NSA's admissions of global communications interception, mega data collection and storage, public official's cry for more internet security and monitoring, admissions by government officials for greater internet scrutiny through backdoors has discouraged the public's view of software enhancements and improvements discourages.
Every other industry is held accountable for faulty products under Consumer Protection Laws. A compelled EULA undermines consumer confidence and repeated failures to quickly address software's shortcomings compound the public's loss of faith.
A broad unwillingness to tamper with something that finally works well despite new promises of increased security, and features falls on deaf ears. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
