I once would have agreed with you, but the advertisements and pushiness in Windows are simply unacceptable at this point.
All of my Windows PCs just work. And I can stick pretty much any hardware and they just work.
I can't say the say for any of the Apple devices that my friends own, all of whom have had to have them replaced at some point.
Sure, the EU will fix things like they've managed to do in the past with other internet-related stuff (e.g., cookie notices). And I will definitely re-evaluate this take once things change in terms of ads for Windows. But until that happens, I don't see "the EU will fix that" as a valid point in favor of Windows.
