The way that's worded implies that the only way it can hurt Windows is if Windows sucks. Subtle and true. Do better Microsoft. Or don't. We don't care, we're just doing our own thing.
The killing is more a side effect than the actual goal. Got it.
Well yeah... Windows users can still use Steam. They sell games. They don't want people to switch anything; they wanna sell more games.
And they want to hedge against Windows trying to monopolise the gaming market. You know, the kind of thing government oversight used to prevent in days gone by.
Microsoft wants all future apps to go through their store. Basically like Apple does in Mac. I do believe this is the future for Windows apps. Once that happens, Valve running on Windows will be second fiddle. Valve's only choice is to migrate to another OS or end up like Mozilla.
Mac user here. I never use the App Store.
I recently thought I had to use it, dug up a 15 year old account, because some hardware utility for a mobile Brother printer was only available from the store. After installing the tool it turns out it didn't even have the function I needed (firmware update of the printer).
That was annoying. And merely having the account signed in also prevented our IT support department from copying my user folder over to the new laptop properly, so we had to do it twice.
Now I'm happily back to not having apple id signed in. (Well... as happy as I can be while still having to use macOS)

In other words, git gud scrub
git: 'gud' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
Sounds like a skill issue
Kill windows we must.
That's cheeky.
See that's how you get people to like you more. Not whatever the hell social media CEOs keep doing.
They don't care about being liked, they just want to prop up the oligarchy by controlling access to information.
