Microsoft hasn't done anything wrong. Windows is a proprietary software and they can do whatever they want
"You're on my property, I'm allowed to shoot you here."
While these "ethics" do exist, they're extremely niche. So don't pretend yours aren't.
Alternatives exist.
If you use Windows, you agreed to the TOS.
Don't use it if you don't like it.
If your employer is forcing it on you, chances are you never even saw the TOS.
