Hey buddy, it's your PC, not mine. I'd just rather know a multi-billion dollar corporation isn't spying on my every move than reckon they aren't.
Microsoft has proven on multiple occasions that they really don't give a shit about the word "no", so if it's worth it, by all means, bend over, cover your ears and keep taking it without any lube.
I mean, I'd rather not. I definitely take a number of steps to limit that. Same as I take steps to prevent that from Google on my phone or from both of them and others on my Linux devices.
What I don't do is make up stuff to be paranoid about in case the very real privacy concerns you already have to pay attention to aren't scary enough to make me feel superior online.
