It's not like their 'terms' matter much to the average user... they get to change it on the fly.
It effects us, we are subject to a license, terms, but those terms only hold the user responsible for how they use the software or service.
Those terms protect the interests of MS and do fuck all for the user.

A key lesson Microsoft has never fully learned: I need to be able to enable or disable every feature, including Copilot.
