Yes. It's always strange when some people want to ban an app because of potential espionage, data gathering, and national security, when most of the computers in governments and the corporate world are using Windows. Even if there are corporate versions that won't gather as much telemetry, and even if Microsoft has not shown sings of bending the knee to the new fascist administration in the US, it's also a matter of security, in addition to a boycott.
