You didn't read any of those, did you. They're asking about things like, literally: How can I delete the Chess app? How do I disable Spotlight? How do I remove Siri? Those are not in any way comparable to ads or Candy Crush in the start menu.

What is the difference between a chess app and a candy crush app exactly? They are both "Games I didn't ask for, but were preinstalled" Ads aren't as intrusive or annoying on a mac yet, but they aren't not intrusive or annoying either (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/256235494 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/256235494)

  I haven’t used chess, but does it have IAPs?

    Not directly, but some features require the Apple Games app which I believe requires an account and does have IAPs.

  Amen to this. I still haven't figured out how to remove Microsoft Store apps from the Start menu in recent non-LTSC versions of Windows 11, even on Enterprise with the Enterprise-only "disable consumer experiences" Group Policy key set. Suggestion for any Microsofties listening: give me an easy way to override Windows key press-and-release to open the PowerToys Command Palette, and I'll never complain about the Start menu again.
