Why canon is so evil?

[EduardoZepeda]

Some rant here, I was trying to read the shutter count data of my camera in this camera shutter count online website and after some research I realized canon decided not to include shutter count data in its pictures metadata. Why they want to force people to use its software? I even tried with my other camera and it wasn't a problem at all, why is Canon so evil? Is there other way to read it other than downloading canon software?

Do you have to pay for this 'evil' Canon software?

It's not about the money, it's about freedom. I don't want to install another spyware on my computer, it's enough with windows. The thing is that Nikon doesn't force you to install its software.

This was a company decision made by men, not something that Canon thought it was good for their users and based purely on greed.

But thanks for replying, I'm open to consider other point of view.
