Yes, but why are these opt-out instead of OPT-IN? [answer: $$$, "ease of use"] Why must you use command lines to disable features which should have been opt-in

Yes, but why are these opt-out instead of OPT-IN? [answer: $$$, "ease of use"]
Why must you use command lines to disable features which should have been opt-in, in the first place?
Why must one use a 3rd party device (e.g. PiHoles, which ARE awesome) to disable stuff — particularly when you can't even turn all telemetry off in the first place?
- Night_Thastus 3y agoBecause Window is, at its core, meant for average, everyday users. Not developers. Not power users. And for the average user, all they care about is having a web browser and access to get the applications they need. I really don't see the harm in the MS store being present. It offers them a user-friendly way to tell people to "just go here and install X" without having to walk them through anything more complicated.

Personally, my only Windows machine runs Windows 7 Professional 64-bit [turns on once a month]. All my computers sit behind several PiHoles.
