If you’re working for a FAANG you’re probably using a company device, which uses Windows Enterprise. Generally less ad-like, managed by GPO’s, etc. whereas home edition is going to have all these annoyances.
That said they can be tamed or disabled. My wife has a Windows 10 computer (home edition) and it doesn’t prompt her for anything - searches for files are all local, etc. Most of these annoyances are fixed by reading the options when you install the OS. The few that remain are a quick google search away.

I feel like people are over dramatizing this.
