So, let's say you are a manufacturer. You take money from all these software products and install their wares on your computers. Margins are tight, and this seems the only way to make a profit. Let's also say you are one of the brands sold at Best Buy.
At some point, isn't one of the software providers going to want their money back from Best Buy sales since Best Buy is removing their "advertising"?
Only because the advertisers will complain, and because it's a reason to get a mac [1]. Say Best Buy removed the crapware ads for free, and the advertisers didn't complain. I'm sure Dell couldn't care less, as it's actually a better experience for the user.
