If this happens, will it be a mass exodus to Linux/Mac? Or will people just live with it? The fact that the Steam Deck has shown great promise in playing games on Linux has made me reconsider Windows yet again.

    Yep, you’re absolutely right. I think my main point is that switching to only offering a cloud-streamed OS as their only offering would kill off a massive market where they have market dominance (enterprise desktops). It doesn’t make business sense for them to leave that market. If the demands of that market change, then you’re right – they’re going to do whatever is most profitable. But we’re nowhere near there yet.
