Tbf windows is both those things, "a reasonably working and widespread literal spyware masterpiece that sucks up every bit of data it can, with broad compatibility."
Not saying it's good, but it "works," it is widespread due to exclusivity contracts with the major manufacturers iirc and people's reluctance to install anything else, it is compatible with a broad range of softwares and hardwares because if someone makes something it basically has to support windows, and it is great at spying on users.
Also tbf, if I ditched windows because of spying, why would I want to install a spying linux? I don't want canonical's bullshit either, if I'm ditching spying for spying I may as well just not and then I can keep using PKhex without going through wine ffs.
