A lot of that is nonsense. Only the ads and telemetry are issues, recent issues at that.

- The UI is emphatically not slow and is faster than the most popular DEs,

- Viruses and malware have not really been an issue in a decade and Windows has significantly better security than Linux at the moment,

- The Microsoft store is a first party packaging solution frequently used

- Real Windows > WINE

There are problems and issues to be sure, but technically it's actually very sound.
