I don't fucking know why I can't eject USB hard drives. I installed the SysInternals apps, and best they can tell me is that Dropbox is fucking with the drives. I explicitly told Dropbox to not fuck with USB drives. I don't know who's lying, I just want whoever is fucking with the drives to stop fucking with the drives, OK??? OK.

Windows doesn’t even have basic package management like every Unix-like OS does so you don’t have to individually update applications and go find them on the Internet

Funny thing is that it does (winget), but it's a terminal app. Windows users who look down on Linux users for "needing" to use a terminal don't want to bring it up, so Linux users also aren't aware of it and never point to it as a counter example.
