Nobody wants to admit this, but you didn't own your Windows 8/7/Vista/XP PC either. Or any of the previous iterations, or any MacOS devices.
It was just less noticeable and invasive. Same idea, same process, but simply closer to 'in early development' than to 'final build'.
Windows 11 isn't the problem. The problem started long before at least half of us were even born. Until recently most ignored it, because it 'wasn't that bad'. Then it got really bad.
