"Microsoft could opt for Windows 11 or Windows 12 in future, but if people upgrade to Windows 10 and the regular updates do the trick then everyone will just settle for just "Windows" without even worrying about the version number."
Windows 11 is fetid garbage. There is no improvement worth subjecting myself to it and never will be far as I can see. I will never install or use it. LTSC for now and the forseeable future for my use cases. Updates are only done if I deem them additive and not routine. Security is not my biggest red line anyway. Updates are a choice not an inevitability and retaining choice is my right as a user as well as my responsibility to exercise wisely. Forcing compliance is a bad way to get me to do things. TPM, UEFI, Attestation systems of any kind are used as I see fit only and how I deem acceptable.
I rue the slow march away from customization, self-administration, interoperability and the long walk toward closed systems with trusted components required to work and perform basic things. That approval of the gatekeepers. I will stay my own gatekeeper, thanks. Netflix can suck it, i'll torrent it instead if it won't work without golden keys.
All that stuff is really only the foundation for the long game of future-proofing revenue streams for content makers anyway. A means to exercise control over it and you using it.
