That was shitty but they stopped doing it years ago (in 16.04 specifically), and it was easily disabled when it was there. Meanwhile Windows 10 just keeps getting more and more invasive, and make it more and more difficult to turn off. Disabling web search in the start menu requires using either the registry editor or group policy now! And when you search for how to disable things everything you find is out of date because they keep changing it every 6 months. The trend has been going from actual option in settings menu -> require registry edit or group policy -> system ignores the registry and it becomes completely impossible to disable. I was pretty mad when they did this to the lock screen and it continues to be a mild annoyance to me every day.
