And they use the fact that they are the default or almost a defacto monopoly. Why advertise your product when people buy it anyway? Why make it good when a bad product makes more money? Of cause there are memes like "the best advertisement for linux is windows 10" and while it might be the best advertisement, most people stay with what they have or are even forced to use it at work (like me).
