Sony doesn't promote its PS4 by saying it offers 40% more power over Xbox one. In fact, it's extremely rare for any company that sells products to even mention another brand, Microsoft is absolutely one of the biggest offenders of this - Phil talks about Sony all the time, to the point where I've thought to myself on numerous occasions that he probably has paranoia and self esteem issues. I would too if I had the resources of Microsoft and still couldn't win a console generation lol.
And, to elaborate on your previous post, W10 is not a free update. In many documented cases, it was a forced update where the user was not asked for permission (and now it even costs money). They went so far as to change what the "X" does on that upgrade pop up - instead of it meaning close out of the pop up, they changed it to mean "yes go ahead and upgrade" which is EXTREMELY deceptive considering "X" has unanimously used to mean "exit" or "close" since PCs have been on the mass market. Not only do you have those kinds of problems, but then, after MS stopped pushing W10 out for free they mandated an anniversary update (means you have to download it) that stripped away a slew of admin rights such as disabling the store front or stopping push applications from downloading.
There's a lot more behind the steps they've taken with W10. If you can't see how it's bad, you're either a full on liar or you're extremely ignorant and I'm not going to sit here and spell things out for you, but
Tl;dr - it's not normal or acceptable for a company that essentially holds a monopoly over a market to coerce people into their product with or without their permission, and then leverage that monopoly to cripple other companies in different markets (in this case the web browser market).
