Microsoft are integrating adware and spyware straight into the os.

It's right there in the open. Install windows and you'll see it. There is personalised ads in the start menu and the os is uploading your private files to the cloud automatically, taking screenshots and uploading them, etc. It's not hidden whatsoever.

A lot of tracker and spyware already mention in setup. And without bypass you cannot setup without microsoft account.
