(Writing this from a Linux laptop:) If you pay for Win10 enough, you get a Pro version without all this baloney, without forced updates and reboots, etc. An extra expense comparable to buying two or three large pizzas.

Still this extra expense turns away a huge number of customers :(

The telemetry is still there. And it's still a lot more pervasive than whatever Chrome does. (So, if you're running Firefox in Windows 10 or 11 and think you're preserving your privacy, think again.)
