The increase in Windows telemetry over the years has been well documented and the general point of the video is valid enough.
But navigating to these API’s domains in a browser and discovering a site clearly not intended for general consumption by users is an odd angle to focus on.
Similarly, the comparison to XP seemed unhelpful when considering the eras each OS was born in, i.e. even though I’m no fan of unnecessary telemetry, it’s also unsurprising that a modern OS will have more reasons to attempt a connection to the Internet than an older OS.
More telemetry is generally not a good thing, for many reasons that have nothing to do with crappy homepages and retired operating systems.

Those websites had nothing to do with improving user experience and more often then not were dedicated to tracking and/or marketing.
