How does this mirror modern software?

You've never encountered the dark pattern choice in modern software where you want to say "No" but theres no such option? And the software keeps asking you occasionally? Windows got a lot of them. Lately they've been trying to get me to move my documents folder to onedrive, and they change the wording and button position every time they ask. Neither choice is "No". Phone social apps often have "Invite friends" or "Import contacts", and "Maybe later" instead of "No". Cookie consent rarely has a straight "No" button either even though they should.

Yeah I've encountered dark patterns, but I guess since I rarely touch windows, the weird part about the chef threatening me doesn't make sense
