The social contract between the user and the OS is broken

Here are just some of the social contract rules that have been reneged upon:

* Hitting the X means close/quit the app.

* Close/quit means end the task/program, not minimize it and run in the background.

* Searching allows you to search for a file or a program quickly and directly.

* No ads on an OS that the user paid for

* Clicking "No" means stop asking, not "remind me later"

* User's data should remain user's data

* If a user backs up files to the cloud, it doesn't mean they automatically get removed from the users machine without permission

* AI shouldn't be shoehorned into all apps unless enabled by user
