Not only languages & energy requirements but accelerated hardware obsolescence. Right now Microsoft has already written Windows 11. All that's left is for them to decide how much of an anti-reuse & anti-recycling effort they want to mandate this time across the virtually captive worldwide PC hardware resources. One simple bonehead decision will determine how much perfectly good already-manufactured hardware will or will not be allowed to support Windows 11, or will need to be replaced un-necessarily. The difference between requiring new hardware versus no new hardware at all is probably a lot greater at this scale than the difference between substituting a Volkswagen for every Ford F-250.
