I feel like trying to persuade people to leave Windows purely from a privacy angle is being too specific or extreme for those who really don't care/gave up. I think a great, alternative way to win people over would be to simply point out how much more efficient it is and energy-saving for their own electric bills.

Just don't warn them about how much energy they may end up ironically expending as a result of tinkering with it and fixing issues and finding cool stuff like Burn My Windows, haha... ๐Ÿคซ

With electricity prices going up, I've actually had people make that decision based on price.
