To be fair (even though I also am both happy and relieved to see articles like this), just because you convert to Linux, that doesn't mean everyone else will. I have used so many guides to help debloat windows computers, and turn off nonsense I don't want (mostly so I can use proprietary software for work). My choice to not use windows in my personal life on my personal devices doesn't really change my situation with needing those guides to help others circumvent windows BS.
I wish we didn't have to live in interesting times and all that, but the guides are helpful.
