Changes like this don't come about in a vacuum. Microsoft made it easy for users to fuck things up and users did fuck things up and then users complained about Windows getting fucked up when it was the users doing the fucking.
So now Microsoft has made it harder to fuck up Windows because people complaining about it being hard to fuck up Windows is more politically tolerable than people fucking up Windows and then telling everyone Windows is all fucked up.
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
