    While collecting personalized user data is obviously important to all of these companies, is it really a vital “feature” for Microsoft? Google and Facebook are mainly ad companies, so the use case is obvious, but what about Microsoft?

    Note: I’m not talking about telemetry. While I have objections over that, I understand whg they are used.

      All large companies realize that user data has value whether it’s their primary asset or not. User data is a big source of revenue that all of these companies are well positioned to exploit.
