As an employee or job candidate try to object the slightest against Windows on your laptop, or Azure for services and very quickly your monthly income will approach zero. Companies are looking for specialists with ten years of experience in Windows and Azure, who will do stuff with Windows and Azure. The decision making generous for MS is happening higher up in the corporate hierarchy. Folks higher up in corporate hierarchy want to pay off their leveraged mortgages, drive BMW or Mercedes, and vacation in Santorini, they don't care about dumb computer stuff.
