Why is Microsoft being a bully in regard to security defaults?

What's worse is Microsoft's "one size fits all" security opinions are LESS SECURE for some environments and situations! By forcing us into their mold, they are in fact REDUCING security for some people. No opt-out. You got two options -- use Microsoft and accept their dictatorship of "we know what is best for you" even if it compromises your security. Or don't use Microsoft.

I finally chose the latter, and am actively moving away from the Microsoft ecosystem.

Microsoft claims to be "security first". But it is a LIE! Just look at the terrible default settings on their products. Look at the lack of support in new products for good security configurations (our Microsoft rep says they initially release products without "those security features in place", then add them later!). What Microsoft does do is decide what WE should be doing for security (sans information about our environments), and cram it down our throats with no option to say "no thank you, that doesn't help us".
