I remember in the early win7 days when I built computers there were many powertools to debloat the install, I had fun running them. Doesn't this exist today for W11 that makes most of the complaints mute? Or is MS getting better at the cat/mouse game?

They still exist, like Win11Debloat.

As you point out it's still a cat and mouse game but I assume they work OK. I tend to go the painful way and do most of it myself following instructions, as I'm not comfortable having these tools run as admin on a system. It's not that bad either.
