An operating system should never call home what apps the user has or what the user is doing. That's an extreme invasion of privacy.

Why do people still use this? Everyone should immediately take a Linux course and stop being suckers.

I don’t think it calls home about that. It just looks if there are any „incompatible“ applications installed and blocks the update if it finds any. I guess the goal is to not break anything.

But sure, you can spin it into a “fuck Microsoft” narrative.

It may be just a usability measure then.

But fuck microsoft.
