They know that gaming is the one thing that often keeps people from switching to Linux. Buying up all these gaming companies is their strategy to keep gamers locked into Windows.
They know this because they keep purposefully making Windows worse and less consumer-friendly. They want you to use Windows how they want you to use it, in a way that maximizes profit for Microsoft.

ads, start menu becoming tied to internet searches ultimately slowing it down, performance decrease win11 vs win10, Bloatware, Xbox locking game folders, the new context menu.. these are the ones i can quickly come up with
