If I had to guess, most of these ‘books’ are some kink bullshit.

Among them some rare exceptions (and most of these were some cheap self-help stuff).
That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised this is what’s being actually affected. I can’t see the actual data or content of the article though, because it requires me to subscribe and I definitely won’t.
I would guess that Microsoft has to comply to Chinese privacy and data laws, AND that China’s firewall also might block a lot of the telemetry.
I agree nonetheless. They should be using Linux a long time ago.
