They know the moment Win10ESU ends, the year of the Linux Desktop begins. It's already better for the most part, if only we had better debugging tools for Linux (GDB needs an actual GUI so badly, not just hack jobs on top of the CLI, often even DAB solutions are a bit underbaked).

I wish I was that optimistic, but I lived through the infamous Win ME, 2k, 7, 8, 10 now 11, and every time we thought "this time they're toast! It's the time of Linux!" and it didn't happen.

Maybe this time? Or maybe not...
