I recently got a new Windows 11 computer. I was forced to create a Microsoft account to login in. There is no reasonable option to bypass it. I copied some files over to the Desktop, and I was later completely horrified to realize that Microsoft had uploaded everything on my desktop to their servers (OneDrive). They shouldn't copy all your data to their cloud without making it explicit!

Right on all accounts. I've serviced MS shops for 3 decades. Presently, I approach Windows (and most MS offerings) as a hostile product.
