It’s some of the most anti-consumer behavior we’ve seen from Microsoft in recent memory.

It's the same company that makes Windows... Always worth remembering.

If you’re referring to forcing Edge, W11 sysreq, and insisting on having trackers turned on, all of these are combatable due to the openness of the OS. Xbox is mostly a closed platform, so it can’t be changed even if you wanted to.
