I was told I can't remove it becuaee it is critical to windows system....
iirc they developed it as a part of Windows 10's search and indexing subsystem. So you had to, without 3rd party means or doing a little hack&slash work on the registry, disable that subsystem completely to stop it from harvesting data. Since they found a better golden goose in the current AI models to achieve that function, they conveniently got around to putting in the work to strip Cortana out of the system to make way for that
