I concur.

I had problems during development with an application failing to
start, saying a DLL of a wrong architecture was being loaded. It turns
out an Intel Wi-Fi driver (or whatever OEM crapware it was, but it was
definitely from Intel) adds its program folder to the PATH, and
there's a 64-bit zlib1.dll in there.

That's just one of half a dozen directories the Intel crapware added
to my PATH. Just because the big guys are doing it doesn't make it
right.
