Stuff like this is why i daily-drive Linux for over a year now; windows 10 only exists in a VM for stuff that refuses to work (i use this VM about once or twice per month for an hour or so). Originally i just didn’t want ads in my start menu, preventing a local user would have sped up the switch to instant instead of 2 weeks.
Yeah but users are dumb. This happens constantly. Microsoft starts with a switch so users can disable something unwanted, then they remove the switch.
The annoying part of actually the dumb users who defend bad behavior with “you can turn it off”, keeping people on the software instead of making meaningful changes to Linux or something else.

Man this is scummy.

I haven’t missed Windows at all. Don’t even have a reason to set up a VM set up for it.
