Just thinking out loud, if you use another launcher app, do you ever have to use the start menu?
Seriously though, in W11 it's super easy to disable this shit.
Start Menu:
Personalization > Start > “Show recommendations for tips, app promotions, and more.” (OFF)
Lock Screen:
Personalization > Lock Screen > Change from "Weather 'and more'" to "None".
Search:
Settings > Search > Permissions & History > Turn it ALL off. Cloud, Work/School, etc.
