Win10 sounded fine until I heard it will share your wifi password with everyone online.

That's like saying pistols sounded like a good idea until you heard they'll shoot you in the foot.

MS decided that its a good idea for your Facebook friends and everyone else to have access to your wi-fi password.

That is dumb

Oh come on. Pistols don't shoot you in the foot BY DEFAULT, such that you have to work to "OPT OUT" in order to avoid being shot in the foot.

There's a world of difference between "It can do X" and "It does X by default unless you go out of your way to make it do something else".
