Ed Cryer is correct, however the installation of Windows iTunes
historically has been considered the canonical example of bloatware.
 <https://www.zdnet.com/article/the-unofficial-guide-to-installing-itunes-10-without-bloatware/>

Of course, with effort, you can remove most of the Apple bloatware.
 <https://www.howtogeek.com/28727/how-to-install-itunes-without-extra-bloat/>

The Windows iTunes is poorly supported by Apple so it's also generally
considered an example of unnecessary tools which add zero-day holes.

The existence of so many 0-day holes shows Apple has never tested iTunes.

Worse, when you add iTunes, you actually *reduce* Windows' functionality!

Still, I have as many iOS devices (along with Windows & Android) as anyone
does, so you just have to live with the fact Apple hates interoperability.
