This is very naive thinking that all the ads came with Mikhail Parakhin. He only lead Windows for 6 months. Windows have ads since Windows 10, 9 years ago. There was several leadership changes on Windows in those 9 years. And the ads continued every single leadership. The reason these ads exists, it's because Microsoft can't profit anymore on Windows itself (they don't sell updates), they don't have a store with enough users/dev to monetize on it, and they don't sell enough hardware like apple to profit from it as well. So there's only two things left for them: ads or subscription Btw, this "ad" actually already existed on Windows 10.
