I suspect that Microsoft's options were partially limited by people pirating Windows.

To the extent that's true, I think the blame is shared.

But that's just a footnote. I hold deep antipathy to Microsoft employees who made Windows into user-hostile spyware.

I don't think Microsoft has ever cared in the slightest about people pirating Windows. It's all about market share, as far as they're concerned, and market share is where you find it.
