Not OP, but probably because I don't have to waste 15 mins, and I haven't had a game fail me.

And I don't have to worry about Windows updates reverting the "15 min changes", or deciding that I need credits to use notepad.

It's a tongue in cheek response to Microsoft's increasingly numerous attempts to further monetize the Windows platform.

They're not charging for notepad today, but you never know.

It's probably a reference to Notepad getting AI features in Windows 11
