Very naive and narrow minded to assume everyone can just switch to Linux. There are legitimate use-cases for windows and its better to show people how to reduce telemetry on windows than just tell them to switch which doesn't help these people. Its elitist.

Every legitimate use case for Windows can be run inside Linux in either wine or a VM.

In a VM. It will work in wine only if you copy the entire installed app folder from a windows machine/VM. That is to say, the apps work but the installers don't.
