For this reason, I have put every disclaimer and warning that I reasonably can, and defined the use-case clearly (a few apps where anything else is bloat). "Try it on a fresh install, on a VM or old PC, first." And, in a recent update to the post, a script by Microsoft for undoing it if necessary. If people don't listen, that's not my issue if I warned them as clearly as I could.
Splitting hairs perhaps, but a lot of people don't/won't understand the difference - or why you did this.
Most non home users use Windows Enterprise and GPOs to achieve these results, where things are more fine tuned and can be reversed as needed.
Perhaps, but the main feature was that it was a debloat without requiring an internet script. There are plenty of scripts and tools out there for de-bloating, but nothing so quick for a stock install that might not even have internet.

I have added a Microsoft-written script in an update to the article which reinstalls all stock AppX packages.
