We should all care, because there's actually an important question
buried in this: to what extent is it acceptable for 'the government' to
demand that someone make substantial or expensive changes in their life
merely for its convenience?
Note that he isn't complaining about being required to run monitoring
software, just about being required to run Windows rather than his
accustomed OS (presumably because Windows is the only OS that the
government's preferred monitoring software will run on).
