    That would be wasting their market position.
    If vendors can expect say 10% of people to choose a non-windows option it would suffice for microsoft to offer a 20% discount in return for the vendor not offering such an option.

    10% might actually be a bit low, there are a lot of people willing to install windows themselves and use one of the comically easy unlock methods.
