And then why a preinstalled, but non-essential app can't be uninstalled is fricking annoying. It may not be an MS issue per se (but as for MS, I still warn people about this app.)
The fact it was drawing a lot of power with also abnormal data consumption, although I have no proof of what it does, doesn't look good.

I have noticed the same thing with Android -  a whole class of applications that cannot be uninstalled?   :wtf:

Sadly, this seems to just be part of the "conspiracy" to force telemetry and tracking down everyone's throats - can you think of any other plausible reason?

Uh, yes, the system partition is quite intentionally read-only.

...Why place an application in system space?

So it is beyond the wit of man to eject it into user space during / after a system installation?

Putting user level applications into system space is just bad...  wouldn't pass muster in most other situations, can't believe Google et al don't already know this.

Which part of it being part of the read-only system image confuses?

Your app store is a user level app. Your keyboard is a user level app. Your launcher is a user level app. The entire interactive element of the device is a user level app.

Ubuntu GUI looks and behaves a lot like Windows to the user. No innovation there. The MS Office alternatives look and behave very much like MS Office. Ho hum, nothing new under the sun  :=\.
