A website loaded with ads and pop ups to entice users to disable ad blockers.
Downloads hosted on a 3rd party platform of questionable status in terms of security.
Registry hacks contain advertisement links to ko-fi.com, which seems to be some kind of get-rich-quick pyramid scheme that the author apparently feels fine associating themselves with.
Website does not contain clear information on who's behind the project, what their motives are, or what kind of support can be expected.

I would trust this guy about as far as I can throw a mid-1990s big-tower machine or a full 19" rack.

I would very emphatically NOT recommend anyone installing any of that shit.

Also:
Edge: nobody forces you to use it. It can simply be ignored.
Defender: is pretty darn effective and unobtrusive. It was a great move to include it.
Forced updates: they're not so much forced, as unobtrusive in the background and optimized to not interrupt work. While updates used to be annoying back in XP days, they're trouble-free these days. And of course essential for security reasons.
Bloatware: don't blame Windows for the habit of OEMs to fill up your machine with their 3rd party stuff. Simply remove it, which is easy as pie, or if you can't be bothered, do a fresh install.
Spyware: don't install it...also, experience tracking is not the same as spying. It's a normal and healthy part of quality assurance in the software world.

If so desired, legacy files accruing from past updates can be periodically removed to free up 'precious' disk space.

For those who have a problem with Microsoft as such, there's always Apple or Linux.

Very mature.

Instead of resorting to name-calling and not adding shit to the discussion, how about you specify where my posts are wrong in your view.

And duhh, of course software like Windows collects usage data. You got a problem with that, block this traffic on your router. Not that difficult to implement. Or just don't give a fuck and move on; most of that data is used in the end to make the product better, but that's apparently something beyond your comprehension.
