If you don't mind sharing all your private data with multinational corporations and state agencies then you have no better choice than paying MS to provide you with a dummy terminal to their affiliated data-miners.

I have used labwc (a really close equivalent to openbox) with great excitement with the exception of one thing.
Running a graphic application as a different user within a user's session is impossible. Even if a different seatd session is active for the 2nd user, wlroots refuses to draw anything as a different user than the one initiating the session.
It is a form of containerization for me that just requires x11
You forgot to mention the glibc/syslog backdoor discovered
DE require tremendous overhead of serv/daemons just to be able to make shortcuts/menu items clickable, I would never use such contraptions on my system.
I use a wm and have no use for polkit, dbus, logind, automount, obfuscated rights elevations and demotions, .... all this crap that unnecessarily must run for the sake of aesthetics and MS-win utility.
If I needed icons on my background I would use just a light filemanager, like pcmanfm, but I don't.
Both plasma and gnome will get zero clicks from me. They are the two black holes sucking free open source software into their m{ac,s}-win core.
I know some who do it as a spare time relaxation exercise, install something new (to them) configure, boot, reconfigure, explore. But they have a steady system they use daily.
MS paid technical support is very simple.
- Xyz doesn't work
- Please insert install disk and reinstall windows.
- But ...
- I am sorry but this is the only way we can insure a good working system
