Q: "Am I weird for finding this absolutely wrong?"
A: Weird's not exactly the word I'd use but; it's their product - their rules.

Q: "I don't mind telling people about the software, but don't force me to do it, you know?"
A: They're not "forcing" you to do anything. If you don't like their policy, you don't use their software.
