I am nostalgic for a Windows I can PAY for that minimizes my participation in the "I am the product" monetization world.

  That day has come and gone thanks to other companies and closed ecosystems like Apple

    Last time I checked you pay everything you get from Apple and keep the data locally without surveillance as a service.

  That's a false dichotomy nowadays. Corporations have learned that, even if you pay, they can still get away with having you be the product. For that matter, Windows 10 isn't free for a bunch of people either, while FOSS, which is typically as far as you can get from being the product, is most often gratis.
