I’m not a huge fan of windows myself, but my dad buys a new desktop pc every few years when the previous one bloats itself to death. Is there an actively maintained version of this script somewhere that I can run for him next time I’m over there?

A reinstall of Windows would get rid of any manufacturer bloat, but not the official bloat that comes with Windows. These scripts seem to be for the Windows bloat.

Last time i had to setup Windows (about a year ago) i used https://privacy.sexy/ Although i have to say my knowledge in Windows is rather limited and i havent crosschecked every Skript for smth malicious and i kinda wanna see someone else recommend this before i recommend it to random people. but i have given up on that random Chance, so please have a look and at least consider a security concern :D
