Google opened the way for collecting massive amounts of data by any means possible (including and not limited to tricking the user into thinking they aren't). And people seem pretty at ease with this, comparatively few are as angered by the revelations these days as they were about MS's relatively harmless telemetry.
So going back, at some point you'll miss the times when you thought MS collecting data about your hardware and drivers was "the evilest evil".
MS and Windows 10 are still far behind Google in the data collection game. Especially since they put that privacy wizard front and center at the first setup.
But as I said, every second you spend defending Google and throwing shade at MS because it feels like the cool thing to do, Google adds another data collection item in their policy, hides yet another setting under 5 layers of options, and tricks you again into thinking that toggling a switch to off actually disables it.
It's not like they did exactly that for 10 years now to the point where they are by far the largest private data collection effort in the history of man kind.
And yes, I'm sure MS will follow suit. Why not? Google seems to be doing just fine.
Luckily, in both cases, free/open source software exists to fix both PC's and (some) cellphones!
