It's probably not reasonable to expect this to improve in 2026. (infosec.pub)

A lot of these annoyances can be disabled somewhere in the Settings, but the problem is that there are so many of them tucked away all over the place

Search -> Settings -> "Disable web search" + "Disable suggested apps".

This is the "all over the place" you're talking about?

Furthermore, Windows has the annoying habit of changing settings after updates,

I had Windows 10 since day 1 (actually, since day -90, was test-driving it for three months before it went public release) and used Windows 11 since day 1.

Never seen any of this shit, not once.

Most people won’t go to that effort

Most people don't see an issue and many actually utilise that feature. How do we know this? Because telemetry is a thing and MS hasn't axed it yet.

Good software needs to have sensible default settings

"Sensible defaults" depend on the target audience. Techy people can turn all of this off, non-techy people won't think to turn it on. That's why, by default, it's on.
