I expect that's only going to get worse. Windows As a Service.
Isn't a Microsoft Account the same as a Windows Store account?
So you need to be prepared to sidestep the increasing number of
cowpies. The clever thing with making you sign up for PhoneLink
is that you're apparently connecting through their server, so you
have to give them access to your computer AND your cellphone,
linking both to your MS ID.
And don't think that you have privacy simply by not
signing up. You have the advantage of not directly, voluntarily
linking your ID to your computer and cellphone in MS records, but
the number of processes calling home on Win10/11 is astonishing. If
you don't block them with a firewall then Win10/11 is reporting most
of what you do. And that's not counting the 3rd-party programs trying
to call home.
