    Having to tell your computer that “My preference is no bloat and marketing.” is a sad state of affairs though.

    My whole point is these things shouldn’t need to be configured. Because the bloat and marketing shouldn’t be part of the OS like this.

      I’ve worked with a Linux installation that had plenty of bloat and marketing by default too, I spent a fair bit of time combing through it turning off stuff I definitely didn’t want. Whether it “should” or “shouldn’t” doesn’t change that it is.
