"Evil"

I understand that lock-in is a bad thing for many (maybe even most) users, but it doesn't seem neutral to call that "evil". As WP:NPOV says: "The tone of Wikipedia articles should be impartial, neither endorsing nor rejecting a particular point of view." Presumably the authors or publishers of software that locks in users would not agree with its characterization as "evil". Why not just describe the policy (lock-in) rather than take the position that it is "evil"? --Macrakis (talk) 00:05, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

It also seems to violate WP:NOR. I plan to revert it out-right. --Karnesky (talk) 21:00, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
