The last objectively good Microsoft OS that didn't have any significant user-hostile features was Windows 2000, IMO

Hard agree. Windows 2000 was rock solid, reasonably lightweight and had no shenanigans going on in the background. It's EOL (edit: actually I think it might have been a specific version of directx only being supported on XP maybe) was one of the things that pushed me to Linux.

That and the native Linux Unreal Tournament 2004.
