It's not bloated enough

It still supports programs/games from the 1980s
Your car is "old"
It doesn't require remote updates

It doesn't require batteries
Your phone is "old"
It still works when the Internet is down or there's a power outage
Your browser is "old"
It renders articles' text fast, without enabling a dozen trackers
Your music is "old"
It does not "expire" because some remote server says so
Your motherboard is "old"
It does not "phone Microsoft" to check if it's OK to boot BSD or GNU/Linux
Your printer is "old"
It does not reject a perfectly OK cartridge that doesn't cost an arm and a leg
Your screen is "old"
It does not require a cable with a computer inside the cable, quadrupling the cost of the cable █
