Not going to make any headway. Remember what he wrote? You're just
reinforcing his "they are all just greedy corporations!" argument.

Besides, there are people who have volunteered to write drivers
at no charge.

Ultimately, it boils down to this: Logitech owns something. Craig
wants that something. Logitech is (probably) willing to let Craig
have it, but Craig is (probably) unwilling or unable to pay the price.

So, Craig is complaining.
