Uhh that script is horrifying. It is from the same Cargo cult technical support personnel that run stuff like CCleaner, BleachBit, and memory cleaners. Just go look at the script itself and the supporting scripts, if nothing else they make a lot of assumptions about what the end user does or does not want, and it reconfigures the machine in such a way to disable legitimately useful functionality.

If anything, Windows 10 makes "a lot of assumptions about what the end user does or does not want"... and that script is just a different set of assumptions, perhaps ones that users would agree more with.
You could argue that anything is "legitimately useful functionality", while someone else would say it's privacy-invading spyware.
Which one would you rather debug, as an end-user or support technician? The options set by Microsoft, or the options set by an opaque tool from some third party? There will be a lot more community support for fixing those issues caused by Microsoft. The issues caused by the third party tool are way more likely to harder to find discussion on and solutions of

???? What are you talking about? Everything it does is pretty bog-standard troubleshooting in the PC tech space. chkdsk, sfc, rebuild the DISM store, run some anti-virus engines, etc.
