Which sends search queries via “Spotlight Suggestions” and “Bing Web Searches” by default?

Which sends all your search queries to Canonical by default (via the shopping lens)?
The Ubuntu thing is opt-in, not opt-out in recent versions.
Both are simple changes and not nearly the same scope as W10's abuses.
Apple isn't limited to collected data just about those two things though. The fact is, Apple's OSs send, by default, a lot of data about you. It knows a lot about you, and by default, can do a lot of what people are afraid Microsoft can do.
If Windows 10's privacy issues are an issue with you, Apple is not an alternative in the slightest.
However, on Windows the start menu search is actually useful to me, and I use it regularly.
Now we need instructions for iOS and Android...No clue about OSX though.
I understand that Mac and Ubuntu both send stuff back home but the amount of things you have to do on a Windows machine to disable this just seems really hefty compared to a Mac or better yet Ubuntu machine (or some breed of Linux)
