They have an (unintentional) strategy of alternating good and bad releases. So *if windows 12 comes out and it is somewhat sensible, it will be amazing when compared to win 11, and people will not wait to get off 11 onto 12.

Whereas if 12/came out right after 10, it would be compared to 10 and people would not like it as much.

I wouldn’t call it good and bad. I’d say every other release they have a horrific one to scare people and then they have a bad but better than the other one release.

The data harvesting is just getting to be too much though. That’s in every release.
