They're just not as interested/invested in Windows any more. They make obscene amounts money from their cloud services, even if they charge 4x for a special edition Windows, it won't bring them any meaningful increase in income.

And now their focus is all on AI. A MS employee I spoke to recently said that all there meetings now revolve around AI, like how they can add more AI and sell more AI, that's all they call about these days. :/
