You know you can just ignore it all? This stuff is on every platform you use nowadays. Yes it is bull shit but Apple and Google Data mine and funnel you towards their app store for years. I don't like as much everyone else but it something that is not going away. None of it bothers me and I still have yet to even open the windows store. It boils down to people hating change. So what shit is in a different space? I would thing the intellegence on this forum to be on the higher end but get easily defeated and frustrated over a option being moved to a new location? It didn't even take me a week to get use to windows 10.
My computer is not a silly little media consumption device like a phone nor a tablet. As annoying and wrong as this shit is on phones on tablets, it is completely unacceptable on a general purpose computing platform.
Heck, Microsoft was sued by the DOJ for this very type of behavior back in the day.
I will never submit to a company controlling my computer experience. That experience is mine, and mine alone to control. This is the main reason Windows has been demoted to a gaming only OS for me.
Sometimes I go months without running a game. In those cases I also go months without booting up windows.
