Really, it isn't hard to stop/block all telemetry, all updates (except those you choose), and make the Windows OS your own (again).
1. PiHole
2. install OS
3. disable telemetry
4. install WAU Manager (carifred software)
5. do whatever else you do to debloat any OS
And it's yours ... clean, no ads/telemetry/update-heck, etc. All available with a bit of googling. WinXP, 7 ... these were good os's before the data collection, but the later ones can be made the same, plus you'll get at the newer features w/o the telemetry and other garbage.
If you follow the money, MS will collect from majority of users, because in the USA (and many other, non-EU countries?) it's business first, customers second, and as stated above, most don't care or don't know.
You can only research and educate yourself out of the way out of this nonsense ...
