How's Windows 11 faring the software of the seven seas?

Here's the GitHub for the activation scripts. Takes like 30 seconds to do it. I'm amazed at how trivial its gotten to pirate Windows
Does anyone else find it kind of funny that a Microsoft service is hosting code to let you use another Microsoft service.
I realised this as I was pulling up the bookmark "Wait, doesn't Microsoft own GitHub now?" lol
I honestly don't think they care, as long as people are using Windows.
I don't think Microsoft cares since they shouldn't be making a lot of money from retail keys anyway. A majority of users get an activation key when they purchase their computer. And businesses use volume licensing. A small minority of people who pirate an activation key is not a lot of money lost in the big picture.
Also with the amount of telemetry going on in Win 11, the data they collect more than makes up for the slight loss in revenue.
