This sound like something they would totally do.

Next up, an ad anytime an executable is run!

Are you sure you want to run an untrusted executable? Microsoft Store contains lots of safe, curated apps that are 100% definitely not crappy ad-filled spyware.

Everything could be operated by ads. Run a program? Watch an ad. Open the start menu? Watch an ad.

You don't HAVE to watch the ads, just subscribe to Windows 11 platinum for 20$ a month. /s
