Fun fact: most "real" EULAs are illegal in plenty of jurisdictions. Some rights just can't be given up, even if you actually read and sign something in front of witnesses. That's why most or all professional EULAs say that all parts are independent, because they know that at least some parts ARE unconstitutional in the USA, Canada, and Great Britain.
And EULAs aren't really the same as proper contracts anyway. Some courts basically ruled "nobody reads those anyway" and invalidated them as contracts, while others raise the issue of them being previously unmentioned limitations thrown up in the face of somebody who already purchased a product or service and cannot receive a refund. Some cases even had contracts that could not be READ until they were "signed" ("If you break the shrink-wrap on this box, you agree to the enclosed licence agreement" and other such cases) Plus the fact that even the modern ones that have a specific button to click are basically signing a blank contract (it is automatically binding if they change it, etc.)
You can kind of excuse amatures for holding a seriously warped perspective on law, growing up on that kind of stuff. It does, honestly, look to an inexperienced observer like you can write anything in the licence box and sue over it. And software companies like perpetuating that illusion, because it lets them "settle out of court" on offences that are OUT OF THEIR RIGHTS to take people to court over. It's all intimidation.
