Microsoft has been catering to normalfags since the Big Bang.
Here's a brain teaser... what's the difference between having a computer in the 90's and having a computer now?
The answer is that back then, owning a computer was more of a luxury thing rather than something that's a necessity in every household (kinda like what TV's were back in the 1920's). At most, if you were in school you would only see those old Macintosh computers that played those big-ass floppy discs, otherwise they were mostly used in businesses, if that, and didn't have a GUI.
As such, the people that mostly used computers were nerds/techy people that were willing to learn about them and how they work, especially once shit like Windows 95 hit the scene and became the hottest shit since sliced bread. The biggest difference between then and now is control. Windows XP was the last OS by Microsoft in which you could customize your computer experience how ever you wanted, including getting rid of unwanted bloat. Back then computers came with a fuck-ton of installation discs, half of them drivers, and the other half optional software that came pre-bundled with the computer when you first bought it. So theoretically you could wipe the hard drive, only install the important drivers (like sound and video), and have a pleasant experience. Even though the OS was by Microsoft, YOU still had control of how you experienced it and no one gave a shit.
Windows 7 (and Vista to an extent) was the first OS in which shit REALLY started getting stupid. Nevermind the fact that you needed a fucking walkthrough on how to de-bloat the damn thing in the first place...
... but any change you could potentially make would throw a pop-up asking "ARE YOU SURE?"... for literally EVERYTHING. I'd like to give normalfags back in the 90's the benefit of the doubt and say that they were a little smarter than your average braindead NPC of today. But now because of Win7 pulling this shit, it makes people start to second guess themselves... "oh, gee... maybe I really SHOULDN'T be doing all of these things, thanks Microsoft". So now you start to breed groups of people that believe that Microsoft has their own best interests at heart and leave their computer alone (unless you looked up how to enable the admin account and tell Win7 to go fuck itself). This is bad because now people aren't going to think for themselves when they have Microsoft to do the thinking for them. This creates laziness, ignorance, and just plain stupidity.
With Windows 10, Microsoft is just FLAT-OUT telling you that you're a stupid motherfucker that doesn't know any better, and that all its telemental shit is keeping an eye on you for your own protection and safety. It's literally taking away control of your computer experience by going "fuck you, this is how you will use the computer and you will like it". And of course, what has happened over the years when it comes to people and technology? The technology improves, yes, but people have gotten so fucking dumb about it that basic common sense shit just flies out the fucking window because they EXPECT the companies and corporations to fix their shit for them.
In a nutshell, Microsoft went from "Here's something fun we created just for you. Enjoy it however you want" to "This is OURS!!! You WILL use it how WE tell you to use it!!"
