It’s en vogue to complain about Google, but the stream of data flowing into Microsoft is incredible and who knows if or how it is being used.
They have better competitive intelligence capability than any other company. Microsoft knows the org chart of millions of companies better than they do, knows who talks to who both in email and voice in some orgs, and knows where people work and where they move at work.
The telemetry sent up for Windows and Office is pretty comprehensive and invasive as well.
I wonder what they do with it. I see no evidence of improved product quality.
