To those that live in their own separate reality bubble, "consumer rights" basically equates to having everything you want your way on your terms once you buy a product.
Naturally, the law doesn't work that way, but that doesn't stop people from trying to push that angle.
I seem to remember there being a pretty clear disclaimer on that infamous update that "Other OS" compatibility would be removed if the end user agreed to the TOS. The end user had the option of declining, not updating and essentially being locked out of online services, but would still have the ability to run Linux for whatever that was worth.
The disclaimer wasn't even buried under the typical toilet paper roll wall of legal text either so making the "I'm too illiterate and stupid to read and know what I was agreeing to" claim doesn't hold any weight.
