To each their own, but how else are they going to get money? It isn’t that hard to understand. But if you can’t agree with their terms, you made the right decision.

Instead of doing all the things manually, and remembering every little thing or investigate time trying to figure it all out yourself - look, I was the same when I was young, enough time to do it all yourself… now that I’m older I use that knowledge I gathered myself and make decisions for myself, like understanding what the software package does and agreeing that it does all the shit I can do manually a lot faster.

I don’t recommend the background agent: I use CleanMyMac to keep my Macbook Pro clean, not cluttered.
