I always wonder where the line is for the majority of people, maybe there isn't one and they know it. You've got to hand it to Microsoft nearly 30 years and they still have the majority.
This is the same false analogy people make as to why Americans drive giant trucks to shift blame... it's not the manufacturers who are pushing these cars to circumvent taxes, it is the users for demanding it.
Very few people actually like these invasive shit Microsoft pulls, but the vast majority either do not know about them, understand them or feel they have another choice. For example, I hate MS, I understand what dog shit this Recall feature is, yet my job will provide a Windows machine with it and I have no choice but to use it.
I am a nerd so at home I do have everything running on Linux. But for the majority of people that would be a unknown option or just an unobtainable one
We drive giant trucks because the small ones are cheap pieces of shit, with inferior designs, inferior engines, and inferior driveline components, that aren't rated to tow or haul anything.
I don't give a shit about what work gives me saying all I'm doing is work on that thing. Now what I'm really afraid of is Microsoft pulling data from the sensors on the device when I'm working from home with it. I need too think of a way to deal with it (I do not have a separate room for work)
