      You can’t convince 99% of windows users to switch, the real solution is done via legislation. The force of a government is more powerful any boycotts you can muster. (For example: European Union has been passing a regulations on right to repair, do privacy laws next)

          In this case the legislation would be used to ban recall and similar features, not to drive people away from windows.
