I almost want to see them try, in some fantasy world, just to see what would happen. Would we get a mass exodus to macOS, or would it finally be the year of Linux?

Of course it’s probably best left to our imagination…

I think Microsoft could actually do that. And say 30% of all transaction on their platform would go to non-profits just to make a point.

Microsoft has made an attempt with S mode, which locks down Windows 10/11 so that apps can only be installed from Windows App Store. I don't believe it's been going very well for them.
