It is interesting because a lot of people criticize Apple as basically you are paying for privacy.

And that is very true, they have turned it into a marketing feature.

But Microsoft is very brazen about it when it comes to Windows. The more you pay the less privacy invasive crap there is. I don't know for sure what the difference between home and pro is for analytics sent back to Microsoft, but LTSC is a drastic difference. (annoyingly still not zero though)
