I did have those, i have cut them out of my life.
Typically the over opinionated bullshit morphs into jabs, insults and outright to hostility….. I just got sick of dealing with it and cut them out of my life.

same and extremely valid
Not a relative but a friend. He has an opinion on everything and also usually has the only correct answer for every question too.
Boy wish o could be like him... Never a doubt

Doubt is often a good sign of a working mind.
Even better, a mom, and one I have to be around more than I’d like now that she’s elderly.
Nowadays I don't have this problem, but I know exactly which sort of person you're talking about: they act as if their opinion was always important, relevant, or welcome.
For me it's most of the time just an annoyance, except in one situation: if they're vomiting uncalled advice on my face, because then I'll interpret it as an insult. (EDIT: 3/4 of the examples in the OP show this.)
Kick them out. You deserve peace in your own home. People like that are always going to have something to say about what you do
So annoying, right? Like, just SO annoying!

Ok, fine, whatever, yeah, that's me. Sorry. But you really SHOULD add cheese to it.
No
Maybe it’s just my experience, I’ve noticed this to be a near universal Boomer trait. It’s as if they are incapable of keeping an opinion to themselves and worse yet, act upon this impulse with the expectation that whomever they’re speaking to will be grateful for it and if not it is somehow a personal insult.
As a boomer myself, I think you're wrong
I think you're onto something here. I can see exceptions (some non-boomers doing this shit, some boomers not doing it), but it does sound like something you'd expect from your typical boomer. And it fits, since plenty boomers are entitled shitlets acting as if the world revolved around their individual belly buttons, opinions are just an extension of that.
all of the older members of my ex-family were like this, so that tracks
It's performative insecurity. And it's not an opinion, it's bullying. That's the point, to steamroll other people and their opinions to make people capitulate to their "way of doing things." To make them feel good about themselves. Which is cheap and fleeting.
Your asking. People hanging on the internet. An internet forum no less. If its bad that people have an opinion on everything. You get me?
i did and they were horrible people so i stopped talking to them and disappeared entirely
this is manipulative and controlling af if not outright abusive behavior
The not listening thing in the last example is more irksome than them having an opinion.
