Microsoft has a tradition of backwards compatibility. It's entirely likely that ten years from now, you'll still be able to run x86 apps on your arm windows laptop. This is unlikely to be true for MacOSX - ten years ago, Macs ran PowerPC, and support for that got dropped within 2 years.

Yup, imagine a world where a Tesla would be so backwards-compatible you could shove coal into its furnace to power a steam turbine that charges its batteries to drive its motors.

That’s Windows :D
