it's still an opt-in setting though. Windows and OS-components like drivers and Edge do get auto updated yes, but to enable Microsoft Update, you still need to turn on a setting in the Settings app. even setting up a new PC/laptop with windows, this is off by default.

What antitrust? It is a security feature and for regular apps windows has ms store that can do auto updating as well.
