I know he is, but that's not the same thing as what he's implying and, even then, Apple's solution is opt-in while Microsoft's was on by default.

If Apples solution is opt-in, Microsofts is in. For many things there just is no opting out.

How can you say that when Windows 10 had Cortana turned on by default? Siri is not enabled by default on a Mac (just like all the other services) and you have to purposely choose to have them turned on during install.

I'm pretty sure I was asked to opt in to Cortana during install. During the setup phase so it may be true of OEMs as well.

What are you talking about, you can't turn it off

Sure you can, during setup or any time afterward since day one. It's even easier in the Creator's update.
