Because 90% of software run only on Windows.

As a software dev I understand that having telemetry is a good thing. I dont believe it is "extremely invasive".

And I have no idea what AI features you mean (at least on Win10).

It is definitely in win11. Might be less on win10. Maybe try using something like simplewall [0], which shows prompts for every network request that phones home
