I don't care what it costs - it should work.

Microsoft probably wouldn't be able to prevent Asus from selling it outright, but it could refuse to sell it through MS Store or giving it a 'signature device' branding.

It works.

  > refuse to sell it through MS Store
MS is probably bound by some partnership agreements so it cannot refuse, and 'signature device' means there's no third-party bloatware as OP said.

For a certain definition of "works".

    > MS is probably bound by some partnership agreements so it cannot refuse
Who cares? It's in MS store sold as MS "signature device".
