It seems weird in the computer world...

but I see a ton of paid cars driving around with advertisements stuck on the back too



The logos and model numbers on cars seem to be about as weird as having Microsoft's name and logos around the OS and the logo of the hardware's manufacturer on the outside of the machine. Unless you're talking about dealer-provided license plate holders. Those are much easier to remove than most of the logos in software would be.


It seems weird in the computer world because unlike with your car example, the ads actually track you.
