"Microsoft was already nearing monopoly position in the PC market"
Really? I never operated a Microsoft OS until Win 95 was coming out. THEN MS started dominating, and I was more or less forced to investigate how and why MS-DOS was any better than TRS-DOS, or any other DOS. I investigated Windows 1 point something, up through Windows 3.11, then finally Windows 95. My PREFERRED OS was DR-DOS. And, if I'm going to load any DOS, it's still going to be DR-DOS.
Windows 95 and then 98 gave MS their market dominance. And, let us remember the dirty tricks played against DR-DOS - "Check for MS-DOS, if not present, refuse to install, echo to screen "You must upgrade to a real operating system to run MS Windows". Or, words to that effect, anyway.
