I'm not convinced but your argument doesn't really pan out. Microsoft own Lenovo wrt what OS installs are made: by preventing any OS install except the factory one they can guarantee such devices will start at Win10 and only change if MS deem it. If they allowed reinstalls then users might be able to install Win7 or another OS.

Microsoft: "You can't change the operating system on the computer you bought. But we can." (ref Win 10 forced installs)
