Yes too up to date can be a downside for most, I want stability and just want my OS to be there and do its thing with a monthly or so update I run.

Ubuntu is not great due to Canonicals choices. However I do wonder if they have more enterprise/business install base.

I do worry.

Technically right now the age thing in systemd is just a stored field that you can set to anything easily. In its current form pretty benign and not a privacy issue.

But it almost always gets worse and more and more controls get added, until we’re at face verification services and other privacy invasive stuff.

Windows often does feel like you’re beating away a bunch of annoyances with a stick that are being thrown at you by Microsoft and other software vendors.

Linux has annoyances too but they’re more in the ‘oops, my stuff broke because of an update/change I made’ area, and not because of some intentional thing thrown in your face.
