A lot of modern proprietary interfaces have started spamming people with ads about "the latest stuff" in the notification menu, the app launcher menu, and a few other places.

That sounds like quite a weird reason to prefer Windows, you can just follow an RSS feed with the "latest stuff" and not have it forced down your throat.

I don't think people prefer it, I think they're culture shocked when the algorithms stop telling them what to think. It's an uncanny feeling at first and can be uncomfortable for some.
