I'm not sure I trust Microsoft's take on a debloat script for their own OS.

Sure it will have less stuff, but I suspect there may be some remnants purposefully left behind.

There definitely are. I don't see anything touching most of the telemetry here, cortana, etc.

This looks like a basic default apps store uninstall and not much else.

What jumps out at me is that it doesn't touch OneDrive.

You could argue two potential reasons for this:

1. This script removes only AppX packages. OneDrive is an *.msi package

2. OneDrive is something they reinstall if you remove it, so they really are cramming it down your throat. They wouldn't include it in any debloat script.
