We need a crowd-sourced solution for documenting and keeping up with Microsoft's bullshit. After every "cumulative update" I fire up WireShark and find new connections popping up from unexpected places. It's too much of a hassle and I'm just about ready to give up.
That said, Linux is not an alternative for me; I use Office daily, OneDrive, and Xbox Game Pass for gaming.
With a dedicated community we could distribute the work of reverse-engineering the purpose of each of these connections and classify URL endpoints by that (Ads / impressions / telemetry can just get blocked immediately; the rest can be documented based on what functionality is disabled / broken by blocking).
