100% agreed
I can't figure out who MS's target audience is for Windows now. They're losing marketshare to Apple in the casual home user market. Heck, based on my last two jobs, even developers are switching to MacBook, though I acknowledge that that's confirmation bias.
Technical users are happily switching to Linux or Mac.
That leaves who else? Gamers? They're still stuck on Windows depending on the games they play. Anything written in a cross-platform like Unity is fine, and Proton is getting better and better, and now even many anti-cheat software has a native Linux client, but some major games with proprietary engines still struggle under Linux. Hopefully more games start getting native Steam Deck support, which ends up making them Linux native.
But like...how many customers is MS going to burn for short-term gains?
