I do this "new laptop" thing once a decade, I forget how intractable I can be in terms of what I want things to do. I had one whole day of "What the fuck, that is ON by default now??"

Every time Apple asked me "Are you SURE you want to turn this off, your experience may be degraded if we're not able to do this extra spying!!" I became 10x as sure that OFF was right.

Tossed out so many apps--Garage Band, Skype, Teams, Tweet Deck. Going to learn command line stuff to get rid of Chess and Stocks.
