Since you need either an enterprise agreement, or you need to pirate it, I'm not sure this is realistic for most people.

Pirating Windows is not realistic for most people? From my experience, paying for Windows is what is not realistic for most people.
The vast majority of Windows is the home version that comes preinstalled on your $400 laptop
I concede. Personally, most of the PCs I see are custom desktop computers, hence my comment.
As the other person above, this is similarity bias affecting your judgement. Which is fine, it happens, but it puts you in the wrong once you let it cloud your opinion on what happens (quote) "for most people". Most people have a legal windows 7/8/8.1/10 key that came with their computer and let them run win10.
A license for Windows 10 costs 100 bucks on Newegg. Who are these people building custom desktop computers who cannot afford $100? Custom PCs tend to be the domain of people building expensive gaming machines.
