(Not OP.) Sucks that you gotta debloat. I want to say it should be opt in for anything thats not basic function, but I think that's too extreme. Maybe people out there find the web search function super useful, or they appreciate the adverts or whatever.
Anyhoo, even though I debloat everything like crazy from day one, i find myself debloating something new about once a month or so still.
They do occasionally try to sneak shit back in with updates. I remember w10 re installing Skype every damned update.
