That's not it at all. They want you on W11, so they can
bundle CoPilot AI <insert name of SKU> with the Office 365 offering and
raise the price for it. Call it "O365-Greased-Rail".

      "Copilot AI features, along with a price increase of at least 30%"

And if they want to do that, the ingredients may already
be on a W10 install. And then later, on a W11 install.
