It is (at this point) an old meme.

It is similar to this meme too.

They chose to be windows admins.

Ofc they do. But most users don’t use it at all. Even most windows admins (based on my experience) don’t know PowerShell which doesn’t mean they know how to use CMD.

The weirdest thing for me is when people complain about terminal when there is a meme how much easier it is to do something on Linux compared to windows or MacOS.

Terminal is the easiest way to highlight that for a meme.

Taking without giving is always viewed negatively in social settings.

Maybe “taking advantage of” is wrong but then again, it is a dick move anyway.
