There are issues with the legislation as it covers so many things, but many of the aims of it are popular.

Polling has shown that the Online Safety Act had 70+ % of the population supporting it.
Something like 60% don't think it goes far enough.
Anyone who has purchased the item would be able to download it again for free - it's just new purchases that would be discontinued.
The feature is off by default in Windows 11 and was not offered in any previous non-beta Windows version.
An escrow approach is quite common to protect the government in the event of a vendor going bankrupt or similar.

I think there are some fundamental flaws with how Fairphone operates, plus they don't seem to release security updates promptly.
There's no desktop app for YouTube Music for starters.
So less than 5 years of OS updates.

It's also very naggy about signing up to iCloud and using an Apple Account.
It doesn't force you - but it's still annoying.
No, you can log in without being connected to the internet (that obviously happens a lot on a daily basis, where people are using a laptop with no connectivity until after they sign in).
