Does that mean you can’t supply a notepad?

How about Ubuntu? Would they be allowed to ship a terminal?

What about smalltalk running on bare metal? Do environments that blur the line between apps and the OS become illegal to supply?

Government regulated software will completely destroy all software freedom, forever.

You are being overly dramatic. Take the features that Windows 95 shipped with and codify them into broad legalese guidelines. That's all it takes.
