So it's all a big conspiracy by evil programmers to get money out of 
users?

In that case, please explain why many of the most talented programmers 
are developing open source software, which they are giving away to 
anyone who wants it, and that many open source projects are explicitly
aimed at making things easier for end-users?

But wasn't the Amiga's softwarev written by programmers? So how come
they didn't deliberately cripple it like you say above?
