Idk, the whole "Megacorp is forced to do reasonable thing, but will still only do so in regions where the law applies" should further encourage people to move away from all their crap.
"Oh man, I'd love to use Linux because then I wouldn't have to have Edge installed!" - Nobody. Ever.
People use Windows because it comes with the PC and it runs all their shit (maybe except some yellowing-beige and blue scanner from 1997) with no fucking about needed. They were never incentivised to use Linux. They don't know what an OS is, and more importantly, they don't care.
The overlap of people that will not remove the initial bloat (even if it's a button displayed prominently on first start) and people inclined to use Linux in the first place is not that great.
And still, it's been years (even decades) that all computers in France were supposed to be proposed without OS preinstalled and yet it's very difficult to find one, or even to be refunded the licence Price a posteriori.
Laws are being voted, removed, revoted, reremoved etc. and all justice actions have been a massive failure for consumers.
I hope this law will be more applied than what we had until now.
We are moving the correct way but we still are so far from equity.
As great as Linux can be, using windows without the bloat or spyware is fine by me. Hell, using it with all that is fine just so long as the end user is happy.
