Every single business running Windows computers (which is about all of them) will have an Active Directory running on Windows.

Every company I worked for only ever had a handful of Linux servers and the majority of Windows servers.

Microsoft revenue generated $26.7 billion in one quarter from its Licensing, and even though a lot of it was through cloud, a lot of it also came through self hosted Windows servers.

You live in a bubble if you think nobody is using Windows server.

Agreed. Most orgs don't have a serious demand for their computers anyway just web clients to SaaS products. So Chromebooks and Google suite. Windows and cloud AD and Office 365. All Mac. Honestly work find with the biggest goal being lowest hurdle for support.

Windows had that locked down especially with vendors support zero config support where they will ship a laptop ready to go.

It's always super painful where those orgs then want to do anything serious on a server, cause yeah none of what I said is optimized for a decent server experience.
