MS would be wild to expect people to buy a new machine before 2036. Consumer prices aren’t going to magically fall.
Either this is incorrect info, a huge flop, or MS really doesn’t care if home users switch to Linux from all the cash flowing in from businesses.
I don't think businesses are going to be getting any CPU's to make new PC's during this shortage either. The average budget laptop cost has skyrocketed.
