Not really. MS has (had) a very crappy image that they worked really hard to build during the early 2000s. That reputation stuck. And it doesn't help that most people are ignorant and are always willing to ignore an informed opinion over one that sounds cool.
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.
