I doubt Microsoft is that dumb, though.

Don't think of it like that. Think of it like, "next quarter's profits".

It takes a lot of effort for non-technical people to switch to a new OS. Microsoft can capitalize on that to rake in egregious profits for probably five years or more before businesses finish sincere efforts at supporting Linux.

Yeah, probably they aren't, but who knows. Unity thought they were infallible and went for their "pay the installation fee or else" that gave power to engines like Godot.
