I mean, exactly how invasive are default operating systems? (Like Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Android, iOS) Do they log your keystrokes, log passwords, capture screen, upload your photos, videos, or audio? (Assuming you aren’t a target of government) Is it even possible for the average person who doesn’t feel comfortable messing with installing operating systems to have any privacy?
You may end up just sharing information broadly unless you use something like grapheneos or a Linux computer. Even with those OS choices the applications may also send data to different services or may share a lot on the web browsers. You may just want to try a few different systems to find out where your comfortable you are cutting yourself off from the services.
