So umm… Could you technically pirate these updates? Someone could just nab the installer files and share them publicly. I find it hard to imagine that Microsoft built countermeasures for OS update-piracy.
People will probably just post a Powershell script on Github to make it update directly from the official servers without paying the extra fee. It’s funny how the most popular activation scripts are on Github, even though Microsoft owns Github and could easily just delete them.
Because they don’t care about individuals. They get their money from you by selling data and making you comfortable in an environment so when you get into corporations, you choose Windows.
Same reason Adobe doesn’t really care if you pirate CC suite, when you need to use something professionally they are banking on you requesting the businesses buy their products
