It's already partially there with WSL. Still has a long way to go. But it isn't completely rediculous.

If Windows becomes a Linux distro that might save their share in normal desktop usage.
So I don't see it happening.
They don't care about their users.
This is bold but actually in a way I think it has a possibility of happening cause Microsoft will figure they can make money from it
Honestly I thought they would abandon doing the kernel awhile back and going the apple route of freebsd but it never happened.
And the license pricing will only adjust for inflation.
WSL will truly be the "Windows Subsystem for Linux", as foretold in the prophecy.
lmao, if this actually happens, i'm imagining IBM towards windows would be like
"oh, I fancy, meeting you here, you lil bitch"
Wsl is the start of that
