    By using Windows, you probably already opted in to these things from accepting their EULA. It’s a shitty practice, but it’s well within their purview.

      It’s also well within the users purview to complain about it… Also for people to figure out how to rip it out of a system as well.

      What’s in the EULA? That the software is installed, what are you complaining about exactly?

      If you don’t use the software it’s irrelevant.

        I’m not complaining about anything. I agree with you that it’s irrelevant, just turn it off

      I’m not trying to claim they aren’t allowed to do it. The fact that it’s legal doesn’t make it right.
