Either just remove the slop and telemetry or switch, no big deal or hassle either way.
This is a very echo chamber/bubble opinion.
Its a massive deal and a huge hassle for most people.
Most people don't change the most basic settings. If asked simply if they want to be tracked they'd say no, but not everyone has energy to fight every battle. In fact, no one does, you and I included.
When we dismiss problems as "easy to solve" or "no big deal" or "not much hassle" we effectively directly support the world becoming worse because in every other area where enthusiasts say the same thing and you are affected you're getting fucked. When everyone does this, this apathy epidemic fucks us all.
people still using IE love it.
