As is plain from the screenshot, there is not MB/s of network traffic, furthermore, the CPU is also pretty idle as one would expect from my not doing anything heavy (like compilation) at this moment. This is very typical for my PC most of the time.
Based on my decades of using Windows full time and my screenshot, your comment is absolutely not representative of typical idle resource usage.
I do however acknowledge that there is a recurring scheduled telemetry collection process which when it runs pegs an entire CPU Core for minutes. I do find this annoying when I notice it, but that's maybe every couple of months which isn't enough of an annoyance to me to waste my time worrying about it, or I might have actually already disabled it in Task Scheduler.
Some people on principle dislike telemetry which is a completely understandable viewpoint, but for me personally I'm okay with Microsoft collecting essentially anonymous usage statistics to better understand how people use their software and where best to direct their efforts.
