Microsoft is losing Builders fast. They're switching to MacOS and Linux. The biggest pull keeping people on Windows, outside of shear inertia, is content creation and gaming. However, even these are falling to Linux.

Without Builders, you don't have software, and without software, you don't have users. This is why Microsoft needs Windows Lite.

If you are techy enough you could install a cracked version of w11 pro or LTSC, then use amiliorated or any other decrapifier. As well Chris titus script can help. This will remove all telemetry and various MS malware.

Im using it since a while to game and it's great. Also not memory intensive and no shit running in the background or reinstalling after updates
