Since when does Microsoft care about (consumer) Windows?

They haven't. Not for a long time. Probably not since pre-XP and the convergence on the NT kernel. (Don't get me wrong, moving to the NT kernel was absolutely needed...but now, desktop functionality is "secondary")

As long as they sell Windows Server and Windows Pro/Enterprise, nothing of value is lost.

And the added GamePass subs probably also boosts Azures value, because I assume a lot of it runs on that infra.

No one uses Windows Server. Microslop's main source of revenue comes from Azure.
