Google’s entire business is predicated on collecting as much data on users as possible. This OS will be the worst spyware imaginable.

No, only the 85% or so of it that's accreted since about 2008. Prior to that it actually made money by offering useful search results without infringing on user privacy. That core business model could still work to power a company about 1/8th the size of current Google. Current Google cannot survive on that model. Something went really wrong when it put growthism above all else.

That ship sailed many years ago with Windows 11, and Windows 10 to some extent.

By the way, you forgot Android itself.
