A lot of the mistrust of Microsoft leads back to the way they use to be. It's kind of hard to trust a company that historically, has been reluctant to protect its users. but this was because of anti-trust threats from anti-virus software providers. And sure enough as soon as they baked in and anti-virus the anti-virus software providers started going after Microsoft because they could not keep there products compatible with windows 10 so they worked out a deal to work together .
As far as on spying you that's what they do in order to protect you ,it has really deep access to you're computer ..I dont trust no antivirus at and SSL level I use ESET but i dont give them access to SSL on my computer its not needed it will stop and delete any malware if it has the signature anyway . Its just like there fake blacklisting of sites if a site that's blacklisted is really infected it will list the infection.
Here while back i was testing ESET and there was a coin miner malware hiding behind a url that ESET was blocking coming from websites Kodi addons was scanning . Well there url block was blocking the url but still the coin miner malware was able to gain access to my startup folder and ESET had to delete it and quarantine it . ESET web protection failed but ESET real time file protection worked. So i added the url to my host that has the coin miner malware and i had no problem since. The moral to this story is why trust it too spy on you on SSL when most likely web protection is not going to work no how?
Windows defender gives you very little control over what it does on your system but most free anti-virus dont i think out of all the free ones Avast gives you the most control , I'm not sure about Kaspersky free as I've not tried it yet its kind of new. I've not used a free anti-virus since 2014 expect for Windows defender when i 1st installed windows tell i got around to disabling it.
Thing is back in 2006, half of PCs were unprotected ..Still today like 20% of Windows 7 users don't use no anti-virus today ..This is the reason Windows baked in a anti-virus is because users were too stupid to protect themselves, it had nothing to do with them wanting to spy on you .They are taking a risk of being sued by other vendors by even bringing it to you . But like everything else because of 20% of stupid people now the other 80% of us has to pay because they are trying to force there protection on you even if you always protected yourself . Same reason browsers are becoming such a pain and things people kept installing malware and things in them , but like most of us never did.
