Yes, and those reasons are why I mentioned poor design.
This morning I was reminded, my work Mac has a dozen daemons trying to contact things I don't want, such as icloud, itunes, google, etc. A fraction of these are ostensibly useful, but I had to resort to Little Snitch to block them because the OS is read-only, i.e. insanity.
Even the user-hostile mess of Windows allows me to turn off the worse services... although even that is dwindling.
