Tracking and privacy on Windows is becoming atrocious, I didn't know about the built in keylogger until I ran a declutter tool.

Unpopular opinion but to stop Microsoft's shenanigans = legislation. Opt-in by default would be a good start. Transparency tools to show what's being exported to MS. How about stopping forced major updates too.

User needs protective legislation fast.

Sorry, “built in keylogger?” Which one is that?

No idea which of the builtin keyloggers they're referring to, but the one with the most public outrage was the inking and typing personalization feature.
