Usually complaints about changes to Microsoft software come from people who are using the software

It's possible that Linux or MacOS users might complain about new "AI features" in MS Windows, but more likely it is MS Windows users who are complaining

If it's possible for a computer user to switch between OS, then there is less reason to complain. Those users can make the statement, "If I want to use MS Windows, I will actively seek it out and use it, otherwise [I will not]"

For example,

"I do not like this Microsoft "AI feature" so I'll use MacOS instead" (possible for user to switch OS)

versus

"I do not like this Microsoft "AI feature" so I'll complain to Microsoft via online comment forums" (stuck using WIndows OS, no choice)

If you cannot make the statement "If I want MS Windows, then I'll use it, otherwise I will use something else" then Redmond, not you, makes the decisions on what you will use, including "AI features" you may not like

Because if you use Windows, chances are you have "auutomatic updates" enabled

This allows Redmond to install new software on your computer whenever they like, e.g., "updates"
