I would equate it to disabling the power steering in your F150 because you 'don't need it'.
Which would make the vehicle harder to drive. Disabling features in Windows 10 doesn't make it any harder to use that Windows 7 was. It's more like turning off the built-in GPS because the voice is annoying and you don't need it anyhow.
What you're doing is claiming that this is making the vehicle "harder to drive" as if you turned off the power steering because technically turning off the GPS might make things harder if I
didn't know where I was going. If I was sitting here saying I execute everything through the command prompt window because I still like DOS I could understand that, but I'm not.
There's also this, from Microsoft's "privacy (lol) agreement":

So unless one wants to go with Linux or some other niche operating system, you're stuck with this agreement just to use your computer.
You guys seem to be astounded that I'm not using these wonderful features, but I still don't have the foggiest idea what you use them for since neither of you bothered to provide an example, I can clearly do everything I need or want to do on the computer, and I haven't seen any response at all in regard to the very problematic behavior of Microsoft in terms of both treating the computer as an extension of Microsoft by making the OS something that requires an account with Microsoft (perhaps not quite "requires" since you CAN create a local account, but still...) and their excessive collection of information to boot.
I don't want my electronic devices sitting there annoying me with "helpful" suggestions all the time, and I definitely don't want them having unnecessary information on me - particularly if they're sending it off to someone else. Electronic devices should sit there and speak when spoken to, and nothing else.
