I don't even get why they care. Can't you just inform users once, then drop support and still collect their data?

I installed Atlas OS on my Windows 10 machine and I don’t get any of this shit.

they don't bother me

probably because they would have to back down of pretending they require specific hardware I'm not going to buy.

Win 11 will eventually replace win 10, just as win10 replaced win7, they are just desperate to reach their target before releasing windows 12.

Windows 12 is scheduled to release before Windows 10 goes EOL. At this point, those who haven’t switched are better off just waiting to see if 12 is decent or it’s shittier than 11. If it’s the latter, it might be time to finally ditch Windows on my gaming PC.

Not me. I kill any process that pops up in task manager whenever i have to connect to the net. Some of them are annoyingly persistent but so far no full screen popups
