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. <https://cybersecuritynews.com/itunes-0-day-privilege-escalation-windows/> The existence of so many 0-day holes shows Apple has never tested iTunes. <https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=window+itunes+security+zero-day> Worse, when you add iTunes, you actually *reduce* Windows' functionality! <https://i.postimg.cc/MT0CxMbZ/ipod007.jpg> <https://i.postimg.cc/rsj2G0KZ/ipod006.jpg> <https://i.postimg.cc/7hwyTMYT/ipod005.jpg> <https://i.postimg.cc/25LmpSK3/ipod004.jpg> <https://i.postimg.cc/RZF4RR17/ipod003.jpg> <https://i.postimg.cc/hPMKTwm4/ipod002.jpg> <https://i.postimg.cc/jdRsWKLk/ipod001.jpg> 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.
