I think it would be somewhat more beneficial if MS spent a few years purely streamlining Windows 10 and bug-fixing; the amount of times I've seen Windows 10 suddenly decide, "hey, is your computer idle? I've got some random background tasks for it to do! wsappx activate!". To hear MS act as if the problem is caused by third party software is like that joke about the banker, working-class man and the plate of cookies.
