This is the #1 reason why I don’t buy Apple anymore. But if there was an easy private way, I’d be open to getting Apple products again.
I simply want to transfer files from my PC to my iPad without any companies collecting info about the files, such as legally acquired mp3 files that dumb corporations will think are pirated.
What are the ways to do this?

You can just do that on a Windows PC???
Edit: I thought you could only do it through iTunes on Macs for only extremely limited file types, or through cloud methods.
LocalSend: https://localsend.org/
Connect with a USB cable or use a thumb drive to go between the two. It’s really simple.
KDE Connect: https://kdeconnect.kde.org/
I also use Resilio Sync. It’s not open source software, but it’s self-hosted https://www.resilio.com/
There are also open source sync services, like nextcloud or syncthing
One option I haven’t seen yet: You can set up a local file share on Windows or Linux and connect to it via the Files app.
Syncthing on PC, Möbius on iOS.
I used to use airdrop to move files from my iPad to my pc before I dropped Microsoft.
