I imagine that the windows OS repo includes IE (and edge), paint, Exploer.exe, Windows Management Systems, Cortana, and a ton of other projects that would merit their own repository in an open source community.

While separate repos do make sense for individual projects normally, as we well know, most Windows components are incredibly tightly bound together (how many different things can crash Explorer?) so a mono-repo seems to make sense for it.
I don't think it's fair to say that _most_ Windows components are _incredibly_ tightly bound together.
