>There is still one absolutely heinous crime though - your system comes preinstalled with Minecraft and Candy Crush (and a couple other bullshit softares), and if you uninstall them, Windows 10 will automatically reinstall them.

That was fixed in Creators Update: it now remembers uninstalled default applications.

I'm not 100% on this, but I'm fairly certain I wiped and reinstalled Windows on my surface after the creator's update, and I still had this issue.

You wiped, how would the OS remember?

As in, after I wiped, I uninstalled Minecraft, and within 5 minutes it was reinstalling.
