Certain companies pay microsoft ridiculous amounts of enterprise software; you can probably trust ms not to do anything that would piss off those companies, simply because they act in their own self-interest. Beyond that, not really. Debian and openbsd are probably as close as it gets to having an actually secure system, and if I had to pick an os for a very critical application, it would definitely be one of those. But really, honestly, any of debian, ubuntu, fedora, alpine, arch, gentoo, slackware; freebsd, openbsd, netbsd, dragonflybsd are probably more than sufficient for any practical need you might have for privacy and security.
