Crash reporting

it's a swole doge vs cheems meme
on swole doge side, there are two popups: kCrash and Ubuntu apport. Both have options to see detailed logs and an optional button to send report to developers, along with options to close the popup.
accompanied is a text that reads "Here's the information. What do you wish to do?"
on crying cheems side, there's popup for windows and mac. windows has just a cancel button with report being sent already. mac has ignore and report button. there is no option to see logs without reporting on both. here, accompanied text reads, "let's add this to the personally identifiable information we have on you."
Well of course they need to report your information to Microsoft, after all the application crashed on your computer and since it's a Microsoft application it can't be the fault of the application (also why you don't see an error Log) so you must have been holding it wrong so they need your info to find out how you were holding it wrong.
The fuck are you smoking?
Or (which is a lot more likely) it sends data so Microsoft can improve the software and fix the bug that you encountered in their software.
(Why would they want to receive crash dumps if they don't believe to be at fault? That is just dumb logic)
If you want to see logs, you can just open the Event Viewer. It is a bit hidden because non-tech savvy people like you don't understand it.
Sorry I thought I was exaggerating enough but once again sarcasm doesn't come through on the internet.
I know that actual logs are produced and can be viewed and I know that there are actual crash dumps being sent that are actually used for improvement.
Whole I don't believe in the "hide what's happening from the user" approach I get that Microsoft isn't actually malicious or hates their users.
Again sorry for dropping the /s
