not playing with them is exactly the point they were made for. They are
relatively simple to set up, easy to maintain and try to cover 99% of use
cases, as for the things you don't want just disable them and for the 1% set
up a vm. They are perfect for SME' s that don't want the cost of windows or
the cost of someone constantly fiddling with linux to "improve it"

and they aren't breaking the GPL in any way or even providing a completely
closed solution. It's still Linux so you can dig around in the file system
and change things around if you wish. But you'd be completely bat poop crazy
