If you don't trust Microsoft and it's Store, then you shouldn't use Windows in the first place.

It's a perfectly good OS with a bunch of junk installed, whether by Microsoft, a OEM, or both. Working around the crap has been the norm for as long as I can remember.

Some of us consider the telemetry and forced updates "junk" that disqualifies it from being a "perfectly good OS" since you cannot uninstall them and need to keep fighting the OS to keep them off.

One can have cynical thoughts about their future plans but still have a certain degree of trust in more important aspects of the OS.
