Sure if you trust that the opt-out switches actually work.

They must do something, or Windows wouldn’t constantly turn them back on with every other update.

Do you think Microsoft wants to get sued by the EU?

Those opt-out work. Or at least in the EU they do.

…that they ask you to actually pay for the privilege. Because remember, windows isn’t actually free (and you pay for it if you buy a pre-built).

I feel it’s important to point out that you can simply not activate Windows and use it indefinitely

Does make you wonder though where Microsoft is getting that money from

Corporate Users. My guess is, that almost any office job where you work on a Computer has Windows as OS. You have a license for your job. The license for home usage is bonus money to Microsoft.
