That's not how it works. Microsoft knows Windows will be used in medical settings. They know "but it's a product for home users" won't be an effective defense if they cause a HIPAA violation.

They also should “know” that being forceful about backup prompts, AI features, and major version upgrades will irritate users into switching off their OS, and yet they’re doing it anyway. Logic is not driving their actions; greed for data is.

Microsoft makes is money by selling products and services. Your data is not nearly as valuable as you think it is.
