What you’re asking is not specific to power users. I have never seen a single user, “power” or not, saying they like ads and privacy invasions embedded in their OS.

Sure, but if they market it to power users, I'll take that as a win. Right now they're not targeting such a thing to any users. Until then, I'll stay on Linux, and buy Mac or Linux exclusive devices.
> but if they market it to power users

The point is they won’t. This crap they’re pulling is not an oversight, they know exactly what they’re doing. It makes zero difference who they “market it” for, most people would want to do it if they opened the door.

> Right now they're not targeting such a thing to any users.

Exactly. By design. And it’ll stay that way until enough users leave Windows. Which is unlikely any time soon.
