Let's say I don't care about privacy. Still left with a software that does what I don't want it to do without asking me, and making it hard to reverse it. It's a software I paid my money for, not some kind of evil "free" product. And why do I need Candy Crush on my computer? Who knows better than me what I want my machine to do? I think the bigger risk to people comes not from the consequences of actions like this but from this attitude. Who is in the center? Who has the freedom? The same goes for countries as well.

I’m not totally sure what the point you’re making is? I don’t love the thing where OEMs are paid to sell computers with a bunch of extra crap like candy crush installed. Is the complaint just that windows comes with a feature you don’t want? (Does this all come from being strongly pushed towards / requiring having a non-local account?) I think that’s a reasonable opinion to hold but it feels somewhat different from disliking candy crush being installed. Perhaps I’m too stupid to be able to think about the abstract power-balance consequences of turning on onedrive by default, or of similar things.
