What's that?

Its an open source tool for modifying existing windows installation preferably start with a fresh one. It does quite a lot with removing anything spyware related. Removing a bunch of features that really no one uses in order to mitigate the attack surface from vulnerabilities.

Do watch out if you use UWP it will remove those too, including Edge.

3rd party modifications to windows iso that basically amounts to trusting an internet stranger.

You are talking about the old Ameliorated, the new one doesn't modify an iso instead its a tool that modifies an already installed windows instance.

Also kinda weird to word it like that since with any open source tool we are trusting internet strangers
