How this is good for Mircosoft though? It makes sense if they want to do it opt-out, but the only reason why I can think of they don't want it to get removed at all to sell data

I am wildly speculating it is to collect all the workflows from remote workers in the hopes they can sell the data to other companies for future automation. Just another way of squeezing money out of users who already paid for the software just to have more information stolen from them.
I don't get it. People riot over less. Why is there not more ire, anger, and vitriol online?
People riot
It depends on the country, I'd say.
over less
What is "less" for you?

Why is there not more ire, anger, and vitriol online?
As a more general answer, the web has been neutered with overmoderation and safe space mentality. Ire, anger, vitriol, which are all normal and valid emotions, systematically get hidden away.
Bringing it back to $NEWS_TOPIC, why are people using a software whose changes can bring them to ire, anger and vitriol? It sounds similar to growing angry with an abusive lover. "Why does he hit me?".

Do they? Sure, people riot all the time with very good reason. But usually it’s like, they don’t have access to food, or they’re being forced to work longer because the retirement age is increased, or maybe because they’re being evicted from their homes. Certainly these issues are not in any way comparable to a software feature that some people dislike.
