Title I do not want a Microsoft account. Microsoft doesn't need any more info about me than they already have. Thanks

I use android, always have. I don't particularly like apple or their OS. If I see someone asking for help with their iPhone, I either say the answer if I know it, or I don't comment at all. I'm not gonna bust in and start telling them they should use android instead.

Maybe they like apple, maybe they have to use an iPhone. Maybe they are helping an elderly relative set up their new iPhone. But the reason doesn't matter. I either answer their questions if I can, or I move on.

Comments like this are why I can't stand the Linux community.

That's you. Everyone is different. I prefer to tell people my opinion. If you don't like it, you are free to ignore it.

Yes, you've already made clear what sort of person you are.
