Microsoft _might_ make interesting Surface models out of it and price them in a somewhat reasonable fashion. Bad reviews will be done by people expecting x86/M4 performance with Windows and MacOS. But what is needed is non-Mac stable and open ARM Linux platform that is more powerful than a RPi5.
I don't expect the first one to do that. But the next ones definitely. And it doesn't have to be "budget" straight away; there's a whole range of "normal" prices between that and Apple.
