Bingo. Furthermore, the annoying things that MS does are predictable and usually not directly harmful. Yeah they want telemetry, they want to encourage me to use expensive autocomplete everywhere, but ultimately the range of bad stuff is "oh dear the corporation is trying to upsell me nonsense I have to turn off", not "my OS is the combination of thousands of distinct software packages where I have to trust literally everybody with code execution... I sure hope this keeps working out".
