They didn't even bother trying to hide it so the OS refers to "My Computer" rather than "Your Computer"

Close. In Windows 8, they renamed it from "My Computer" to "Computer", and in Windows 10 they renamed it again to "This PC".

This all happened around the same time they removed the little "shared" icon from shared folders and also the network traffic indicator (because phoning home is the new normal).

They renamed "My Computer" a while ago.

Since you don't own the software, you own the license to use the software, the next release will just name it "Satya Computer"
