"Clippy's a symbol that what used to be considered one of the worst annoyances in our life would now not only be welcomed, but, for all of his flaws, celebrated as an idol. Because for all of these things that occur right now, where there is negative malice of intent, 'I want to take away what you own, I want to take this back, I want to get your data, I want to sell you to an advertiser when I know that you are crying', Clippy just wanted to help. And if you were to turn him on today, unlike most cloud bullshit, he'd still work."
Because I'm a member of the Right to repair movement. Clippy never tried to change the definition of "purchase" to force us to buy the product over and over.
