It's probably just that I take five minutes to clean up the mess after install and it's not an issue ever again...

The thing is, why would you want any of that crap to begin with? Like sure you can disable it, but wouldn't it be nicer if... You know.. it wasn't there in the first place?
Like if you had the option, wouldn't you want to ditch Windows for something a little less anti-consumer?
Hypothetically, let's say there was an OS that meet all your needs, wasn't riddled with ads and trackers, and tries to empower you as a user; wouldn't you choose that OS?
