What I wonder is (from someone who has been in a room like that, not speculation), how do these decisions go down?

My other favorite example is un-disabling telemetry, resetting default browser, etc. Some PM or VP is in a meeting saying we are going to do this shady user hostile thing and everyone just nods? What is the amount and type of euphemisation?

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in one of these..
