Sony obtained from you the money you payed when buying the system.
They only obtained that money by promising to give to you in return for said money a system you can use to play video games online, and that you can also use to run the "Other OS".

Now that they've obtained that money, it turns out you can only have one or the other, but not both at the same time. At the time of buying this was not made sufficiently clear.

So did he resist?

No need to apologize :)
(My second comment crossed your reply)
Reading it back I realize my comment was also a little more blunt than intended.

Well, you literally said "....it should be easy to get satellite images.

Anyone care to provide them?"

So no reason to be surprised several people quote the Wikipedia article explaning no such images exist, including a reason as to why they don't exist.

Apparently you *haven't* looked through all the links in TFA...
Otherwise, you would have read in the Wikipedia article that "Despite its size and density, the patch is not visible from satellite photography." because "Most of the debris consists of small plastic particles suspended at or just below the water surface, making it impossible to detect by aircraft or satellite images."
