It's your system and you agreed to licence your data to them. So technically it's not theft. But also technically, pirating isn't theft either, you're not breaking into microsoft HQ and stealing a product key.
On a practical everyday way, yeah, I would say they are "stealing" your data, since they hide that as a clause in a massive EULA that can be altered at any time, and you either accept it or don't get to use what you bought.
You sign ownership away when you scroll past 35 pages and click "I Accept"

Get an HDMI-CEC adapter, have your machine boot straight into big picture mode and pin Plex/jellyfin to your favorites so its the first thing you see.
Alternatively, get a Chromecast and only switch to that HDMI for media, and leave the PC for gaming. Heck, if CEC works all right in both ways, you might be able to navigate on your PC with the Chromecast remote.
I'm definitely not a fan of Google myself, but I can't deny the ease of use for less savvy ppl to just press "ON" on the little white remote and have it turn on the TV, switch to the correct input and turn on the soundbar.
Which version? The daisy wheel or the dual thumb keyboard?
I kinda miss the older circular mode, it was hard to get used to, but it was really quick and precise
No joke here, try (internet) radio. You'll discover stuff you'd never get on algo-based recommendations. I might be biased by growing up with Winamp's shoutcast
