No. Even using a shitty distro with SystemD is a 1000x better than using Windows because since at least Windows 8, you are required to register for an MSN account just to set up your computer. Windows 11 took it one step further and requires you to provide a mobile phone number. Windows markets itself as a service. It has forced updates, requires an MSN account like I just mentioned, and integrates itself with OneDrive or whatever they are calling their cloud service these days.

I don't know about macOS but I assume it's the same thing, but with iCloud instead of MSN/Outlook/Hotmail.
