Does the idea of this concern anyone else? Why is no one talking about it? (sh.itjust.works)

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.
