Are you seriously comparing a tool to a friend? Windows, like every other OS, is a tool to accomplish something. If said tool doesn't work for what you want, you replace said tool with something that works for you. Also, it's not the first time Windows users threw a fit for some change that MS did. MS continued doing so and people kept using it, so they "adapted". You didn't stop your "friend" from being alcoholic, you just continue to tolerate and then accept it.
