10minutes for something like 5 questions?

if they wanted to steal your data, then they'd ask you about it?

It easily could take 10 minutes to actually read/decipher the word games being played to confuse the reader into accepting the preferred option the vendor wants. Just like it only takes seconds to accept the ToS/EULA because nobody reads them. If people did actually read them, it would take hours/days to do a "simple" install.

I don't remember the wording being tricky or something along those lines

I don't have screenshoot of those newest windows, but I found one of older quetsions

Diagnostic data - send all basic diagnostic data along with info about websites you browse and how you use apps and features plus additional info about device and its health and enhanced error reporting

You could chose

FULL or probably Minimal(?)

>plus additional info about device

What is 'device'? In moder parlance, device is a phone/tablet type of something. I've personally never heard of a computer being refered to as a device. What is 'enhanced error reporting'? What is 'basic'?

My natural instinct would be to have clicked no to everything, but just taking that approach screws you when it is worded like some of the options in the TFA 'Disable all basic diagnostic blah blah'. If you quickly select no for everything, then you just said no to disabling, thereby granting permission to do what you thought you were just disabling. These are the things to be looking out for.

Because if they don't meet a bare minimum of decency and regulatory requirements, they will be fined a substantial % of their revenue.

They ask questions because if they didn't they wouldn't have a defense in court.
