Since Satya Nadella became CEO, Microsoft has advertised itself as a pro-opensource company despite never open sourcing its primary consumer-facing products like Windows & Edge. This initially attracted a lot of open source developers that Microsoft gladly hired, to turn around and turn their OS into a spyware organization.

Microsoft learned that if they collected a bunch of data and shared it with the intelligence agencies, while making their OS a telemetry warehouse that tracks nearly everything you do, then they'd be able to attract and onboard the entire US government while making it nearly impossible for them to switch away in the future. At this point forensic companies aren't shy that Windows is the worst choice for privacy.
