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.
