do people forget that these features have been part of Nvidia for over 8 years now and have always remained entirely toggleable? Or is negativity really just a better way to live the world

Check out NVCleanstall! It allows you to strip out any/all unwanted added software and bundled options from the NVidia installer to get only the driver, or only the specific pieces you want. And it handles updates internally within the program!

Then it seems NVIDIA has gotten a little better since I started using this other thing some years back. That's great! I remember having to have the NVIDIA app & GeForce Experience and you'd get assaulted by a bunch of ads during install, as well

You've been able to decide not to install anything but the core driver since the GeForce Experience days - I remember doing so for my GTX 1060 back in 2018. The ads during install though... yeah those haven't gone anywhere yet😄
