You should avoid proprietary software
Because Proprietary software is software that doesn't respect users' freedom nor creative communities.
Remember, there are alternatives to Microsoft, Apple, Google and the other mega-corporations' proprietary systems.

How few are considering threat management.
Indeed, few are discussing the threats from regulators and the legacy system of corporate-governance.
The mass surveillance and privacy invasion is so common with proprietary soft/hardware (smartphones, smartTVs, game consoles, web-browsers, Operating Systems, credit/debit cards, and most consumer products) that many have accepted it and are willing to implant them in their bodies!
