It’s kind of weird that you’re so concerned about the happiness of Windows users… To be honest I’m surprisingly happy* about Windows 11, after minimal amount of tweaking (less than I need on any Linux distro I tried to make it usable) I tur

Most shareholders hardly have a say on how major public companies are run. Thr Only signal they have is by buying/selling stock or not even that if you only own your shares indirectly through an ETF.

Many of those that do also use a bunch of various custom native plugins, middleware etc. And if we look the most popular/largest games the proportion that use Unreal/Unity gets much lower. Backwards compatibility is also a thing.
