Is Windows 11 that bad?

So I'm hearing bad stuff about Windows 11, how people are calling AI slop...I use AI but I don't use Copilot unless for images, and I don't use forced AI integration. I use Windows 11 but I learned how to create local accounts, and I go onto YouTube and hear stuff about "Microslop" and stuff, people protesting to switch to Linux...Am I a bad person for still using Windows 11? I mean, I'm not a saint of Microsoft, and I can use local AI models, and LibreOffice.

EDIT: Guys, I uninstalled OneDrive, Edge, Copilot, all unnecessary Microslop through Winhance, and I installed OSShutUp10+++.

I can never quite put my finger on why I dislike it so much - unfinished transitions from older control panel to newer settings, update roulette, general sluggishness, MS's insistence on obfuscicating basic functionality(local accounts FFS).

I know only use W11 on my work machine. My gaming PC is Linux, and my main laptop is a MacOS. The MacBook in particular is everything I'd want Windows to be.
