That was my first thought as well. I was hoping for a high-end system that I actually own, but nope. Nobody will provide that. Apple still provides the closest thing, at least on Mac. (iOS is another story.) Their telemetry is more minimal than Microsoft's, and it's possible to disable it in a way that hasn't changed much in some time. There's not much evidence Apple cares if you do so. I also trust Apple's security far more than Microsoft's.
