Sure but do you think that works in the long run? Wouldn't it be better if they just made things right? I don't have the answer but I know it's what I prefer

What the user prefers doesnt matter. Its what the investors prefer.

For users, the important statistic is tolerance. Find the point on the graph where you have the highest shareholder preference that allows the lowest possible tolerance of users before they break from the product.

There are barely any laptops that ship with linux and most of them use the same keyboard as their Windows counterparts. Microsoft makes deals with the OEMs so unless you're buying from enthusiast brands like System76 or Framework you're likely to pay for a Windows license, even if you don't want it.
