It's actually ^this^ perspective that most fits the "daytime television" analogy. The old fogies have precisely that attitude, and they're primarily who still watch daytime TV.

Now that most of the population aims their eyeballs at something other than TV, TV has become a wasteland of geriatric-targeted ads/political propaganda (old people vote) with a pittance of content mixed in. It's being stripped clean of what flesh remains, in its final death throes until its remaining viewers completely die off.

MS Windows is on the same trajectory, which started with MS failing to get Windows on smartphones. Now that so many grow up using non-Windows mobile devices instead of home PCs, Windows will only become increasingly desperate, dated, and tasteless in its revenue/power-generating schemes.

Hopefully FLOSS can prove more robust against this cycle... It's not like we don't see similar patterns emerging with Mozilla embedding ads/"suggestions" in Firefox tabs, or Canonical putting ads in Ubuntu. But at least there will always be alternatives thanks to the ability to fork and compete when the source is available.
