Apparently, you may not be aware of most of the methods achieving it or the kind of tracking taking place.

I do not know where you got that tid bit of info but I would like to see it as I would imagine it was planted by the facebook team underhandedly.
(yes they have been caught many times planting misinformation to their benefit)
Microsoft maybe got owned on mobile, but they still have majority of users on desktop. Google and FB control only your browser behaviour while microsoft can track anything. I saw this when there was one system update, where it was prompted "do i want to send my key typing statistic" and bunch of other questions in same domain for "better user experience" . It's like wanting to install malware on your system , with only difference how they ask for your permission. I wont be surprised if they release next version of windows for free with pre-installed tracking.
