> going after big tech with antitrust law will necessarily be good for the consumer.

I believe in US antitrust law, better for the customer => lower prices. And installing crapware on laptops means lower prices.

The theory would be that if anyone actually wanted crapware-free laptops, there's nothing stopping any manufacturer from selling them. It's a problem for a market. I think it would be a bad idea to let courts decide what "product quality" is for something like that
