    Cause they're going to show a pop-up that advertises some "cool new feature", and the 99% of users who aren't tech literate will say yes and never think about it again.

    People on this site severely overestimate how much the average person cares and their overall level of tech.

    Because they'll add it to the list of coercively and deceptively worded questions they force you to answer before you can use a WIndows account, phrase it so as to sound useful and harmless, and have a big friendly "Sounds great!" button and a tiny "No thanks, I prefer my life to be shit" link.
