There's not as much bloatware in Windows 11 as you might think - most of it is links to install applcations, not the applications themselves. Part of it is due to advertising - you're actually getting Windows license a bit cheaper in exchange for these "features".

But you can disable and remove it - manually. These scripts do it automatically for you as a convenience but the ability is there.

In enterprise versions of Windows, there's tighter control and less "features"/bloatware installed by default, and you can use GPOs and other settings to deal with it very easily. This of course comes at a cost that most endusers don't want to pay.

Feel free to purchase the non home versions of Windows and you will find there _is_ a choice.
