It's not that we don't mind it, its that you're tilting at windmills. The things you're concerned with are the LEAST of the concerns you should have, and really make no difference.
Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc.. they can all track you whether or not you are using an account with their devices. They own the OS, they can add whatever tracking code they want without anyone even knowing. Avoiding using a MS account is silly when MS can see whatever you do in the OS itself. So, either you trust MS not to abuse your personal information, or you don't. And if you don't, why are you even using their OS? Since lack of trust in that alone should be the core concern.
It's like trusting your babysitter with your credit card. If you don't trust them, why are you letting them watch your children?
