LTSC is the “real” Windows. It’s so boring and terrific.

What I don’t understand is why they don’t make it more available. Just let people pay for it. I do not understand why they don’t.

For the same reason everything is moving to being ad based - because ads pay more, and because the high income users who are willing to pay to get rid of ads are the most valuable users to show ads to.

Google and Facebook showed the way. Consumers see FREE service and it sets the market equilibrium. Retail Windows licenses were already a slim minority. Those who would buy Windows 11 LTSC for Home would be an even smaller group.

Because Windows LTSC is not sold to home users.
