when users desires are ignored, and functionality is reduced, this is exactly to be expected.

The demand for workarounds and replacements of lost functions is attractive to threats like this.

When it comes to windows you can bet that users' desires will never be ignored. They will be carefully and consistently collected, logged, uploaded to Microsoft's servers, filed into their dossier on the user, copied to the state, and then used to push ads, or for anything else Microsoft thinks might be profitable or convenient for them.

Microsoft may not change their behavior, or their software, based on users' desires, but they sure aren't ignoring any data they manage to collect from them.
