If MS decides to force OSS projects to jump through higher and higher hoops in order to distribute on Windows, then projects will stop doing so, and drop support for Windows.

If Windows no longer allows monetization of these efforts, it will make less free software generally available on Windows.

That will drive away more users to freer OSes.

While I agree that excess sugar is bad, so is excess fat.

From here: https://nutritionfacts.org/vid...

How do we know excess dietary fat is bad? Because it’s been put to the test. Randomize people to the same low-calorie diet, but one that’s low-fat versus one that’s high-fat, and within just two weeks, the low-fat diet decreased liver fat by 20 percent, whereas the same number of calories on a high-fat diet increased liver fat by 35 percent!
