There is a very strong push from OS makers (here mainly Microsoft and Apple) to increase margins via including tracking and ads into the system. The writing was on the wall a long time ago, they were kinda open about it when talking to investors that they see it as the next profit avenue.
The ship has sailed and anyone treating their own privacy seriously and not wanting to be force fed ad slop should move away to a free OS, Linux being the main candidate.
Linux has came a very long way and is now a very stable and usable system even for the less technically inclined. Almost all games via Steam (Proton) work flawlessly aside from some Ring-0/anticheat stuff. Most apps work great with Wine. If you're not using exotic hardware the drivers are rock-solid for almost all use-cases.
It is time to come to the light and leave the corporate OS hellhole.
