I mean, exactly how invasive are default operating systems? (Like Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Android, iOS) Do they log your keystrokes, log passwords, capture screen, upload your photos, videos, or audio?

Here is a good guide for making Windows a little more private, although there really is no escaping at least basic telemetry, which is still way too revealing in my opinion:
