I worry far more about closed-source software, where they may have
made these kinds of dumb decisions, but I can't tell, since I can't
read their source code.
Nor can you do anything about it, should you find out somehow.
The well-known mantra "Free as in freedom" means that you're free to
make changes (or hire/find someone else to do it) to the code should you
deem necessary.
There are well-known problems with various versions of Windows that MSFT
has stated that they're simply not going to fix - I wrote about one of
these with NT4 a few years ago - your ONLY recourse is to spend more
money to upgrade to a more recent version. (Well, or leave the
platform...) Since their software is closed, even if you could find a
fix yourself (which, legally, you can't), you couldn't apply it without
getting sued left and right either.
