Does the idea of this concern anyone else? Why is no one talking about it?

No, and I think MicroSoft should actually do this, because I find it funny. People who still use Windows and Apple OS deserve whatever comes their way.

Some people live in a world where they have jobs to do and the software they do it with is on one or the other but definitely not Linux.

Most people don't watch pirated media while working. Dual booting is always an option if you only have one computer.

Gotcha so to satisfy your elitist bullshit I need to run a dual boot machine and switch back and forth between OSes for work and not work.

You don't have to, but if Microsoft or Apple prevents you from opening a pirated movie and you need Windows or MacOS for work, dual booting is a solution.

Because they let themselves to get locked into proprietary bubble.

Have fun with your CNC machine that doesn't work unless you program it with version 113 build revision 7 of proprietary firmware that cannot be loaded unless you run Windows XP SP 3, because CNC machining software is totally something that needed to be windows based...

Just remember, Therac-25 didn't need to kill people.

This is why noone uses linux

If you used Linux you wouldn’t have these problems, but go ahead and cop out if you want

MicroSoft uses Linux. Every single webserver of MicroSoft is powered by Linux, because Windows Server 2022 is just so good.

MicroSoft's main income is Linux, their own OS makes up just a tiny part. The way they do business today ("intelligent cloud segment" making most of the revenue), couldn't be posible if Linux didn't exist.

The only ones who still use Windows is gamers and Offices that are too stuck up to automate their boomer accountant's job.

as a linux professional, congrats you’re a junior and have a lot to learn about the world

Oh do please give me an email that would show me how much of a linux professional you are when I filter linux repository commits by the author.
