Why remove Bing and Copilot?

Microsoft's Windows operating system has long integrated its own search engine, Bing, and more recently, its AI assistant, Copilot, into the search function. This update allows users to opt out, suggesting a move towards giving users more control over their system's performance and privacy, potentially in response to user feedback about unwanted features or resource drain.
