Microsoft is losing Builders fast. They’re switching to MacOS and Linux. The biggest pull keeping people on Windows, outside of shear inertia, is content creation and gaming. However, even these are falling to Linux.
Without Builders, you don’t have software, and without software, you don’t have users. This is why Microsoft needs Windows Lite.
I wouldn’t, but many of my friends that I finally convinced to switch to Linux would definitely consider it. They switched specifically because MS went too far and made things too awful, and gaming in Linux is now quite decent. They aren’t using Linux for the open source philosophy, or to tinker in ways that Windows blocked decades ago, or even the free price tag.
