I mean, you probably paid for it unless you either built your PC and chose not to pay a license, or you bought a laptop from a very short list of brands that allow to either buy it system-less or with Linux.
unless you either built your PC […] or bought a laptop…
I’d think that the chances would be pretty high that the user built their own desktop if they’re not on a laptop. Are prebuilt desktops even a thing anymore? I suppose you could have picked the parts and had a tech slap it together, but still… if you can do a jigsaw puzzle, you’re overqualified for what’s needed to build a desktop lol
I’d assume prebuilts are still the default for most desktop users. Yeah, building a PC is easier than its ever been, but it doesn’t mean people are interested in doing it. Also warranty and support if something goes bad - most people will prefer to just take the computer to the store rather than troubleshoot which one it is and deal with RMAs on individual components.

And even then, you pay with your Data.
No point in having windows pre installed anyways. Why they to remove all the bloatware when you can just start fresh
