Of course, one could make the sarcastic remark that *not* being able

OTOH if there are any problems in warranty, the manufacturer may ask you
to run some diagnostics under Win8 or whatever the box shipped with.
And it's the sheer laziness and incompetence of modern companies that
they can't fix these things otherwise, and consider us to be "consumers"
rather than "customers", to be fleeced and slaughtered for their own
convenience. ANd if any competitor comes along that makes a better
product, they'll sue them out of existence so that they can *continue*
to sell you worthless crap at an inflated price.
