You would still have paid about $100 for a shitty Widows license, though.

The licenses are more likely $30, not the retail price that we pay. They might have also gotten a deal with Microsoft to make them even cheaper/free to help them compete with the Steam Deck.

Maybe. I'm just going by the price difference in Dell laptops with and without Windows.
