I genuinely feel most of them are Microsoft bots.

There are some dark patterns in the setup experience that might cause that.

Turn off the "Show me the Windows welcome experience after updates..." and the "Suggest ways I can finish setting up..." options in settings.

I bet if you're having preferences change on you, it's because you're clicking ok or next without reading during these nag screens.
