If only they didn't intentionally give up compatibility with 250 million PCs by introducing artificial CPU requirements, then adoption rate would be higher...
But blackrock and vanguard (they control ~15% of Microsoft, Intel, AMD) really needed to increase their profits by selling more CPUs...
Also it didn't help that until October 2023 the taskbar was completely broken and unusable, people like me forbid the installation of the os in the company for that reason alone
Uhh, Vanguard and Blackrock are ETF providers, those stocks are assets under management
They don't "control" anything about those companies.
