The fact that Apple went to the trouble to develop a Windows driver for the Pro Display XDR but lock it down so it only works on Macs running Boot Camp - there is no justification for that other than malice.

Did they write a driver for Windows? The review wasn’t clear. They just said it only worked on Windows if you’re running Bootcamp. That could easily mean the Mac (computer) does all the “driver” work, not necessarily macOS (the OS). In which case, that would explain why it doesn’t work on any computer other than a Mac.

I will admit that I know very little about monitors or their drivers but it wouldn't surprise me that such a sophisticated piece of hardware requires a driver.

That all their current hardware is supported on Windows 10, and has been since the release of Windows 10? That's not malice, that's following your plan.
