Or not every single decision at a multi-trillion dollar company is driven exclusively by diversity? Why would you be looking to DEI efforts to fix this specifically? This is just not a logical leap at all. Complete non-sequitur.

That's even all setting aside that Windows is going to sell just fine and those ads are going to drive increased profits, so this isn't even a bad thing from the MS perspective. DEI has a positive impact on things, but that doesn't mean it magically solves all of your problems from the POV of the customer?
