Very interesting - I like how Microsoft has changed from testing their own software to making their own users dogfood it for free! I remember seeing a video or article somewhere that went into how Microsoft tested their OS on various hardware configurations - warehouses of computers hooked up for automated testing.
Bit of an aside, the article has a tweet embedded showing an article in the Feedback Hub related to a feature called "Sign in without password when my device powers on" and how it helps maintain compliance in China...
I know it's not 100% related to the article the OP posted, but why would a setting like this maintain compliance in China? I assume the Chinese government already has an agreement with Microsoft to allow backdoors into the Chinese version of their OS...?

This article proves that Microsoft still has a lot of internal testers testing things that Microsoft hopes are never leaked publicly. The software that leaked was an internal tester-only tool. It wasn't supposed to leak to outside testers ("Insiders").
