This video it's based on was from earlier in the year and lacks any proper analysis, yet got picked up by some tech sites and continues to get posted for topics which mostly just results in users bikeshedding about their Windows pet peeves.
Some examples: calls a service that helps companies comply with GDPR "1984" since the analysis is superficial and almost entirely gut reactions to random domains they observed. They have no issue with one CDN they observe but take issue with a Microsoft CDN literally only because they see 'geo' in the sub-domain, when if they'd taken a moment to check it's just used to locate the nearest data center like CDNs do generally.
If the video were instead, 'let's look at what comes pre-installed with Windows 11 [Home, Pro, Education?] that connects online' then it may have been a more informative video. Instead it has a lot of assumptions but little evidence about DNS queries, leaving only casual viewers thinking they've learned something.
