Edit: Yo, I'm not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew's UX sucks ass.
Lawsuits won't do anything to stop Microsoft in the short term, look at what happened to Netscape. Valve understands that "voting with your wallet" doesn't work because the majority of people will buy whatever the current monopoly holder tells them to buy.
Do you live under a rock? Valve has been very clear about their intentions since the days of the Steam machines.

That quote doesn't mean what you think it means. And you haven't been saying it was done for profit, you've been saying it was done because "people voted with their wallet".
Companies will do something if they have a profit incentive to do so. They will not do things if they do not have a profit incentive to do so. People voting with their wallet creates a profit incentive.
People voting with their wallet creates no profit incentive. It's what I've been trying to explain to you since your very first comment.
