Not just usable, but respectful.
I like Windows, in terms of the desktop UX (with PowerToys). There are some pretty nice features, and the window management w/ FancyZones beats the pants off whatever the hell macOS is doing (I use a macbook pro for work, the window management is atrocious without numerous third party utilities).
But the bigger problem is, Windows does not respect you. It deliberately ignores your instructions. It will revert your settings during feature updates. It will ignore your registry setting to disable data collection (if you are not on Enterprise). It will re-enable hidden firewall rules to ensure telemetry functions.
Because of that behavior, you cannot actually trust the operating system. It is completely hostile toward its user. Windows treats the OS itself as supreme, and so places a security boundary between administrative action & the OS, where the OS will overwrite administrative action.
Microsoft does not trust you to use your computer in the way that you want. Therefore you should not trust Microsoft.
