Microsoft can't even let go of x86 and make x86_64 mandatory. It could them years to recognize ARM as a valid target.

At it‘s most basic, Microsoft‘s makes billions by enabling enterprise customers to remain lazy.

If you don‘t force them they will never move an inch. They‘d rather pay insane amounts for support for decades old shitty software than to finally modernize.

It‘s easy money for MS. Though I‘m sure Windows devs hate it.
