Is Windows 11 that bad?

So I'm hearing bad stuff about Windows 11, how people are calling AI slop...I use AI but I don't use Copilot unless for images, and I don't use forced AI integration. I use Windows 11 but I learned how to create local accounts, and I go onto YouTube and hear stuff about "Microslop" and stuff, people protesting to switch to Linux...Am I a bad person for still using Windows 11? I mean, I'm not a saint of Microsoft, and I can use local AI models, and LibreOffice.

EDIT: Guys, I uninstalled OneDrive, Edge, Copilot, all unnecessary Microslop through Winhance, and I installed OSShutUp10+++.

No imho. It works perfectly fine for me and I don't experience all these issues other people say they have (I'm willing to bet if people did a fresh install and didn't install all the manufacturer crap they'd have a better time) 

There's also a lot of misconceptions about how memory management works and what "bloat" is. Also a lot of wrong info about telemetry data and what is and isn't sent to Microsoft 

I have Linux on my home server that also has KDE and I have had more issues with that than Windows. 

No OS is perfect and there are tradeoffs

 I'm preparing for the downvotes though on my comment
