Your phrasing is a little odd. Personally, I don't think users should necessarily turn those features off, but if they don't want to use the feature, I don't think they should be forced to keep it on, either. I don't see why it can't be opt-in. > If your threat model is that the OS provider is hostile, no amount of changing of settings will protect you from their actions... IMO, it has less to do with the OS provider being hostile and more to do with eating up resources and increasing available malware attack vectors.

I don't think that users are forced to keep the features on are they (definitely I had no problems disabling them when installin Win10) On defaults I would prefer it to be opt-in but I know exactly why it isn't. Software vendors want you to use the features they develop so that you'll be more involved in their ecosystem, if they're off by default chances are you won't turn them on, which defeats the purpose. Gotta say I don't see your resource point, do you have any evidence that these features have an appreciable impact on the average system?
