…having a demo version of windows does not count as “having it”.
It’s a paid product. Windows Home costs 139$. And if you bought a laptop or pre-built PC with windows on it, you have already paid for the license as part of the price. And since most people buy pre-built PCs, or laptops, most people thus do pay for the windows license.
So people having the ability to use it and cover week their needs without having to pay money to Microsoft for Windows 11 then that means Microsoft needs to recoup those costs somehow. I know you want to move those goal post but the reality is still what it is.

I feel like you didn’t read my reply
In addition, the paid versions still track you
They gather some kind of data, they aren’t tracking a specific person
you’re either naive or you’re working for microsoft.
Good one
