Window’s real problem is not the quality of their model or implementation, don’t get me wrong they’re bad but not really any worse in regards to usability or usefulness.
The real issue is that Google can implement it in a way where it’s difficult to turn off or avoid using. Microsoft can’t really do that, no matter how hard they try, people can choose to just ignore the features, Google can just make them appear and run without user’s choosing to engage with them.
Sure, but people can just… not hit the button if they don’t want to. They are tools that Microsoft is pushing users to engage with, not systems that automatically modify the service whether users want it or not.
Google has set it up in a way where the “demand” is generated whether or not users engage with it. Microsoft’s stuff needs users to actively engage with it for “demand” to be created. Google has stuff like the summaries running by default, or the weird smeary filters on YouTube videos or auto dubbing foreign languages.
Basically, Google owns all data you access with it’s services and generate in a process of using them, while the CoPilot vampire usually needs to be invited first. OneDrive autouploading your files and leaving shortcuts was one desperate attempt at it, Recall was another, but they are comparatively disadvantaged with you having your own local storage/OS and not their tightly controlled cloud from the beginning.

That is what the start menu is for.
You say this, but apparently LG has started to install copilot on their TVs as a system feature, so you can’t even remove it.
