Gee Whiz!! I just made a post resembling your sentiments!!

Think about this: if your Micro$oft online account used in Win 11
installation had credit card information, what would it mean to you if
the online account was always logged in? :)

Nothing. What would it mean to you?

As for "accidentally leak your data" that applies to everything you do, including using a credit card on or offline. Try searching for recent
hacks on major UK retailers.

Hmm!! That might explain the approx AU$6.00 (US$4.00) per month that has
been sucked out off my Credit Card account for the last two/three months.

As I've cancelled THAT card, it might not do MS much good!! ;-P

You can always reclaim any unauthorised charges made to your credit
card. This has been the case for years. Even in the old days when people
used to order goods over the phone by providing only their card number
and expiry date. The retail clerk would enter these details manually to
obtain authorisation before dispatching the goods. If the goods were dispatched to an address that did not belong to the cardholder, the
credit card company would claim the money back from the retailer.

The better solution is to input credit card information once to
transact. Afterwards, the credit card information would be forgotten. Something like one-time password.... :)

It meant your wallet was always opened, allowing strangers to peek
inside! ;)
