While what you say is true, the gp's point is that Windows is already pre-installing crapware. The Start Menu icons were still pre-installed, even if you can remove/uninstall them and even if the apps they represent weren't pre-installed.

I agree; my comment was not intended as a dismissal to the underlying issue.
