That's not going to happen. For one, having a more secure OS is actually a good thing, but especially for the even larger amounts of control they'll gain over your computer as they move to Pluton and beyond. Imagine, for instance, having your bank verify your OS and software running before doing business with you. Remote attestation is definitely in the plans, see e.g. https://twitter.com/marypcbuk/status/1478416836647657479

You could keep hoping Microsoft will do what you want with their OS, or you could get out while you can.

I haven't run Windows in a very, very long time, maybe I was too subtle with my dig at this type of content (a day after the "slimmed down" Win11 image was posted and discussed widely).
