I don’t really think it’s their responsibility to spoon feed alternatives to their customers; they’re not being anticompetitive, they’re not being deceptive, they’re not blocking alternatives.

I think your requirements here are unfair and kind of irrational

That the stuff included is free and installable on it’s own.

That they aren’t communicating it.

Why do you believe they need to?

Because I believe not doing so is exploiting people that don’t know better.

If it wasn’t then there wouldn’t be a problem with being upfront about it.

Okay, I guess I simply disagree that it’s their responsibility to tell other people there are alternatives to their service and I don’t think any other software vendor is beholden to such a requirement either.
