Sure, but I'd wager that pales in comparison to the gain from being able to conveniently 'default' users to the options that grant MS access to the largest amount of data.

In addition, a somewhat plausible excuse to then hide away the ability to turn off all of this 'guidance' under the pretense of looking out for the end users.

This is the telemetry and monetisation equivalent of "we have to ban encryption to stop the criminals and terrorists, won't somebody please think of the children" only much more successful
