Windows 11 review: An unnecessary replacement for Windows 10

You're right, but equally you have to go out of your way to achieve that state. An everyday user with a fresh install will almost certainly end up with unrequested updates, telemetry and an online account for local login.

One thing missing in this discussion is DirectX. Windows 10 launched with a new version and tried to market itself as a gaming platform. People playing AAA games on PC is a sizeable market and this would've been a significant everyday upgrade for them.

Its intentional. If people could easily turn off updates they would do that and the next critical vulnerability would cause millions or billions of damage because it can infect and then use all those private PCs to attack other systems and no sys admin is around to fix stuff. It would be a disaster and very bad PR for MS.
