It is really not.

Microsoft doesn't have much to say about my computer other than the stuff that I knowingly let them because I like the feature.

If I never wanted to get an update ever again, I could.

If I wanted to completely remove Edge, I could.

If I wanted to install old proprietary software that isn't compatible, I could.

If I wanted to delete System32, I could.

Windows is not Mac. Microsoft doesn't have the grip on the system like many Linuxians claim they have.
