Genuine question, especially here on HN. Why would a developer use Windows in 2026?
I even develop windows apps. On Linux, built on GitHub actions.
If I had windows forced on me for corp reasons, like I did once, just full screen a VM

Ah, the naivete of the innocent. You are vastly underestimating the amount of spyware like Crapstrike Falcon that the IT department will force on you. And you think that shit runs on a VM?
Consider yourself lucky that you don't suffer Windows at work. I have only a single thought for all Microsoft software: death.
Additionally some of us really enjoy Visual Studio with the .NET ecosystem, the C++ tooling able to do hot reloading, REPL, debug release binaries?
Powershell based tooling.
To have somewhat working desktop OS with access to one of the most powerful dev environments in a form of Visual Studio?
