Microsoft is not Apple. Their corporate culture is different, their revenue sources are different, and their incentives and motivations are different.

"But we said Microsoft would do this bad thing, and then they did it!" is not a valid argument for why we should believe "But we've been saying for 12 years that Apple will do this bad thing Any Day Now™! They haven't yet, but it'll definitely happen Very Soon, just you wait!"

I can find you a dozen comments rehashing "The New Microsoft (TM)" which allegedly won't do such thing as forcing Secure Boot further because they have changed, the culture have changed, they now "Love Linux (TM)" and whatnot.

Companies are companies. I'd love the future to sucker punch me and prove completely otherwise.

You mean like the lock downed Xbox where even physical games have to pay a license fee and you have to buy digital games through the store?
