This right here. People tend to forget how controversial 10 was when introduced, and romanticise it after the fact. Case in point: Win 10's antifeatures alone - built-in keylogger, mandatory telemetry, "upgrade" nag screens with tons of dark patterns - all that convinced me to finally make the switch to Linux before Win 7 EOL'd in 2020.
