“We think we’re on the cusp of the next evolution, where AI happens not just in that chatbot and gets naturally integrated into the hundreds of millions of experiences that people use every day,” says Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, in a briefing with The Verge. “The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.”

I'd say you are half right... Microsoft is definitely treating "us" as product yet this is not a facebook situation where people just use it out of convenience because it's free and their friends are in it. MS still depends on sales of licenses and they seem to be further on the ledge there.

One of the pillars that cement MS in the corporate world was that everyone basically already knew how to use it... but that is eroding further and further as well... and I for one, constantly complain to my company's "security" team about the constant bombardment of ads and prompts to "upgrade" in enterprise level software

It's not 2014, their business was selling cloud Linux and opensource since 2018 if I remember correctly.

The point is they are still selling licenses... it's not a free service people use by default

Well they are pretty open on that you should not use it.
