A lifetime of not completely shitting the bed helps. I am also deeply deeply distrustful of most info gathering too. It's half the reason I switched. I don't usually like the newest windows on launch because they ratchet up the surveillance every time. The other half is my hardware isn't good enough for windows 11 and I'm not upgrading.
