Tons of software only runs on Windows. At home you can get around this with things like Proton, but in the Enterprise you need support contracts, which means you need Windows.

All that enterprise software is moving to "the cloud", where they can charge per user, computation time, allocated memory, or wharever is best for they.

Much of it isn't. Honestly, apart from our ticketing system, none of the software we use where I work is cloud based. Most of what we do is latency critical, and those workloads really can't be moved.
