Somehow I don’t have this problem
with notepad.exe or vim or pandoc or imagemagic or textedit.app or resolve or blender.
Maybe it isn’t the tech industry, and just consumer-facing apps.

Tip: If you don’t have Windows Notepad installed, you can download it from the Microsoft Store.
On some level it's enormously baffling that this was the thing they decided they needed to do...conversely Adobe Reader on my phone won't shutup about liquid mode either (which uploads to Adobe servers) and Microsoft and Google's solution to "people don't want to use our AI assistants" was to ensure they literally can't be disabled or removed.
It was a bad choice that never should have been implemented as "enabled but not configured", and I have moved away from iTerm2 as a result. I am sure that others have as well. (The grudging move to make it a separately downloadable plugin was good, but too late IMO.)
