You are avoiding the question.
You are refering to "people that care about privacy don't always know how to install a different OS?"
There is no difference in difficulty for majority of people to opt out of a OS or a search engine's unwanted data collection.

DT the point being made is as follows:
It's a whole lot easier to to invoke a different search engine, (a la key in a web address) than to install a different operating system, and reacquire software (at app level), and learn the new software's quirks.
Otherwise you are an unpaid beta tester for Microsoft, for the benefit of their corporate customers, for the rest of your life.
It's ok, if that's what you want to be. (There are lots of voluntary beta testers out there, but they are
voluntary, not dragooned into it.) But everybody ought to be aware of what they are, and quite frankly, be given a choice of not being a beta tester, even if that is a extra cost option.
OTOH, I'm just an old dinosaur. . .
