Right now? It's been there for a decade at least. We all made due with Windows 10 because we learned to clean it up and make it our own, but let's not pretend it didn't have a foot in the enshitification direction already. The forced updates alone were more than enough evidence of that. Ads in the start menu started there. Forced "assistants", telemetry, junk getting reinstalled automatically, etc. They have been spitting on us for a long time.
Windows 11 is just a breaking point for many. At least Windows 10 was easy to clean out and I didn't absolutely hate the design.
