Although not the same, this has been going on for about two years now. Jensen Harris, a former MS engineer, criticized the ads as well as the design of the new Start Menu, over here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1564399431545667585.html

Weren't they doing this as far back as windows 8?

It just highlights the downward spiral to user hostility becoming the standard. Pretty sad.
