I'd ask "why" in the other direction. The benefit MS derives from Windows at this point is $0 per year. What still has a ton of value in 2021 is Windows compatibility, and they don't need the distraction of maintaining a full OS for that. Maybe it's easier to maintain compatibility by maintaining their own OS. There's clearly a benefit to giving it up though.
