On youtube I see tons of avatars and mentions of clippy, the oldscool windows help tool. Are they protesting something?

You could actually turn Clippy off as well. Copilot doesn’t really go away, and you can’t trust Microshaft to re-enable via updates. Out of the two I’d much prefer the maligned Clippy.

Unfortunately Clippy would get randomly re-enabled, like all microsoft zombies, after an update. You never knew when it would come back to insult your intelligence.

OMG it’s been going on for decades now. That’s not a bug at this point — that’s a feature.
