The only companies I really gripe about are Apple (again, overpriced hardware and restrictive software) and EA (which I'm finally giving into a bit, since their games are becoming reasonably-priced with Access and the Madden 15 trade offer).
It's not necessarily a matter of advocating for Microsoft, either. Their exclusives interest me more in Sony's, and I prefer the WP mobile OS over Android and the need to either accept bloatware or put work into rooting the phone. That, and like I said, I got a phone with everything I wanted, and it was significantly cheaper than the alternatives.
You can say I don't need to manage anything for Google, but the Simple fact that I have to manage a password disproves that. I don't have a use for anything Google makes, beyond YouTube, and I don't need a Google account to make use of that service. As such, there's no legitimate reason as to why I'd bother making an account.
