Microsoft don't give a rat's ass about operating systems since ages, and their policy on no more Windows 10 updates this year will finally push me to Linux (probs ElementaryOS) after a lifetime on DOS/Windows.
Visual Studio is also full of AI/Copilot junk now, and I've basically just had enough of their "not now" / "ask me again later please, I am a sucker" options when I really want "be ashamed for asking and never ask me again", all the user-hostile shit they pull... enough is enough.

I think Microsoft sees Azure as its future, not Windows, and would be generally happy for people to use a thin cloud client rather than an expensive-to-support general-purpose OS. But we are where we are, thankfully. How long it will stay that way, idk.
As for VS - yes its annoying but you can turn all that stuff off.
You can uninstall CoPilot from Visual Studio - it's a separate entry in the Visual Studio Installer - and you need to set an option in Visual Studio to hide the buttons.
But yes, I am constantly frustrated with the constant pushing in your face of CoPilot features in all Microsoft products - Office and Teams especially so.
Microsoft's cash cows are increasingly Office 365 and of course Azure. Everything that can serve as an Office 365 client OS is surely fine. A shrinking Windows operation may just save them money in the long run.
