>You can turn off Windows telemetry.

See, turning off telemetry (if it is even possible to turn it off fully) was implemented to be complex on purpose, so that most people can't do it and won't do it.

But Microsoft can still trumpet to the world that "you can turn it off if you want".

"You can turn it off if you want. We will probably turn it back on in a future update, but you can turn it off again if you want."
