With Chromium and VSCode, there are 'pro-privacy' forks which which remove the telemetry from the codebase. With Windows, there isn't an equivalent ad-free option. I think "freedom to manipulate the source code" may not be a popular point, but it seems foundational in that it restricts what the software can otherwise get away with. e.g. I don't like the idea of buying 'smart' TVs which come bundled with adware.
