Making something public and making an infected file available only to Microsoft, if and only if they have a good faith reason to use it to improve their products and services, are WILDLY different.

You make it sound like you, the user, have a choice in the matter.

You're not "making something available" and they're not asking you for permission. They taking it if they want it and you can't do anything about it.

I think that's what people object to most, the loss of freedom to say no, this is mine, it's private and I control who has access to it.

Then don't use Windows 10 if the terms and conditions are a problem for you...

If you don't use Windows, or are forced to, then just admit that you want/need something to complain about.
