For what it's worth, I just updated to Windows 10 this weekend, and glanced at the EULA. At this time, there *is* a whole section committing you to binding arbitration (in the U.S. EULA at least). I have no idea when it was added/updated though.

Once you've heard it the first 50 times or so, there's not exactly anything new in there.
And it's not really meant to be 'new' to those that fly often. The purpose of the "safety demonstration" is twofold: to instruct those that don't have your level of experience, and to serve as a reminder to those that do. For this same reason, all U.S. paratroopers (those that are new as well as those that have hundreds of jumps) go through a scripted (that will read verbatim) pre-jump briefing covering the hazards and expected reactions to those hazards, if encountered. That brief is the exact same prior to every jump, and once the paratrooper has been around any length of time they can parrot pretty much the entire script. It's to get you in a mindset and walk you through the steps you should follow so that you don't have to think about it - you ideally just react. Like the airlines, they would prefer that in the case of an emergency you don't have to sit there and think for too long about what you're supposed to do.
And from your second paragraph, obviously it has accomplished its intent.

It occurs to me that if they didn't let people moderate except from beta, they could effectively stifle opposition.
Where is the "-1 Be Quiet!" mod?
