Microsoft recall.
Ads in software you paid for.
Inability to use local accounts ( they're closing the workarounds ) or dark patterns to switch you to one if you do have a local one
bit locker forking you over

Edit: shoving AI down your throat

And this all besides all the other already present points to shit on Microsoft like the data collection

And any reasons a non-techie person would care?

They wouldn't know recall exists, so wouldn't mind it
They get ads everywhere so they are used to it
They don't know the difference between a Microsoft account and a local account
They wouldn't know bitlocker is active, and when their old computer dies, they switch over and OneDrive gives them all their family pictures back so they see no problem.
