Those updates were for mostly for Xbox One, IIRC. They just got bundled into the generic Microsoft T&C. I know for a fact that the 'unauthorised hardware' thing was simply about Xbox hardware, while the pirate software was only for Microsoft software.
The privacy concerns are exaggerated, but are mostly true. They're also easy enough to fix with the "Ultimate Windows Tweaker" third-party software.

What people are ignoring is that Windows 10 is free for a good reason. It's nothing to do with spyware and everything to do with microtransactions. Why charge $200 for an OS when you can charge them $10 a shot for 25 apps which they were expecting to get for free?

There are some Linux alternatives to Ubuntu that aren't terrible, but none are as easy to use as Ubuntu.
