I can completely respect your perspective. Yes I was being short when I made this comment, no offense to the op was intended.
To patronize a service because its good does not imply loyalty.
Apple has a long history of being manipulative and exploitative of their customers. Being loyal to them (from my perspective) is like being loyal to an abusive person. You obey their commands not because of respect, but because you feel an emotional bond to them.
Uhm? No.

Pro tip, tell them you want to end your subscription immediately. Don’t say anything, awkward silence. When they ask an another question to goud you into staying repeat the first statement. If they ask rando questions, silence.
They give up in under a minute. Be polite but obstinate.
After the install. Create admin and user accounts not tied to ms. Use the user account normally, and when you need admin you enter the second account details.
Use Sophia script to clean up all the advert apps bundled with win11.
I wish I could find a script to remove the advert features from edge for when I have to office. Mozilla Firefox is your day to day browser.
Use chocolatey.org to install ur apps. When you do updates, one command can do it all.
Check start-up scripts, and ensure there is nothing that doesn’t need to be there. Teams no, zoom also no.
My bad, sorry. Dreamhost.com
Not GoDaddy.
Other than that, go by price and reputation. The DNS service can be replaced pretty quickly for free if their DNS service is a problem. I usually register on DreamHist.com. Then use the free DNS service on CloudFlare.com
If they don’t find you handsome, at least they’ll find you handy.
This is the way.
AKA don’t be this guy.
Don’t trust executables on your computer. A Windows VM in a Linux host that you revert to a prior snapshot of you’re really curious.
