You don't have to back up all everything to the cloud if you don't want to. It's entirely optional. But some of us find it very useful. Why are people these days so opposed to options?
As far as "what Microsoft thinks I want", assuming you are talking about bloatware. They are about as good as Apple in that regard, perhaps better because you can actually set default programs for actions. Android almost always comes littered with bloat. Or maybe you are talking about the Windows store, in which case I would agree with you, I think it should be as open as Windows has always been. But Microsoft hasn't been too discriminating in what they let in.
