But does making this stuff uninstallable and difficult to disable really make them that much additional money? Seems like a poorly negotiated deal if that was really part of it.
That's like saying that bookmarks are disabled by default because the bookmark code does nothing until you interact with the browser, eg click the star or type in the "awesomebar".
If it's in the default UI it's not disabled, disabled means you have to take steps outside the expected workflow to enable it.
Dramatisation follows ...
"Oh, this rock I put in the middle of the floor, don't worry it's disabled; if you don't kick it or fall on it then it can't hurt you. Sure, putting it there makes you likely to trip on it; requires you to move it if you don't want to.
What's that? The company name on the side, oh that's just the company that asked us to put the rock here. Yeah, we're totally honouring our roots and keeping with minimalism aren't we!
No, no, it's not an advert - many of our users like having this rock here.
Next week we're going to scatter marbles on the floor, each one says 'drink more Koke', aren't we just being awesome.
Ha, do you remember when you had to choose for yourself which junk to clutter your office up with."
