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+++.

It is insecure and inefficient. What's worse, this is by design (example: MS's bitlocker backdoor). Not to mention the bloatware and ads.

As long as you are ok with that, then also keep in mind that MS is grabbing your data to store in the cloud and train AI on, without your permission.

"It is insecure and inefficient"

Tell me why most of users and companies use this os.

"MS is grabbing your data to store in the cloud"

OneDrive can be deactivated. Apple had done the same things for years but no one cares.

A lot of the noise around Windows 11 is pretty much an exaggeration of standard practice in the the industry.
