The worst part is they we know that they can build a version of Windows without all this crap because the Enterprise editions can easily be configured without it. Tools like litent, tiny11, etc, also show that its fairly trivial for MS to reduce the footprint of the OS. It also feels to me like a bunch of independent teams working without a cohesive vision. Some tools like Notepad, Terminal, and WSL are getting built without any advertising garbage while other parts of the OS are overflowing with them.
