Sure, the plan you outline does sound very simple. And in an ideal world, that'd be perfectly fine.
Except we don't live in an ideal world.
See, for example, the fuckery alluded to above.
Therein: Linking a Microsoft account to a Windows login is something that appears to happen automatically under some circumstances, and then bitlocker keys are also automatically leaked to the mothership...
The machine is quite clearly designed with the intent that it behaves as a trap. Do you trust it?

If you distrust Windows that much, isn't the only real option to just not use it?
That's yet another brilliantly simple plan that you've outlined!
Would you like for me to demonstrate how it, too, is short-sighted?
