I think it’s most definitely the latter. Devices are disposable, manufacturers don’t want them to last beyond 2 years and don’t want you fixing them. They you to constantly replace and upgrade. The real money is in the data. Harvested for their own good but worth more to data brokers. YOU are the product. Free apps are not free. Read some of the EULAs.
I now pay for a service to systematically remove my data from brokers. Imagine a world where we truly own our data and can retract it.
And yes, set up windows without an Office account!!!!
