Yeah a M$ guy was quoted as saying "windows 10 is the last version." It was actually pretty worrying when all the "OS as a service" talk was in the discourse tbh because I heard chatter about how they wanted to move to a model where people "rent" the operating system from them for a recurring fee instead of buying (or DLing) it -- and this is something that must not be allowed to be normalized.
Other people in this thread said money is why, and if you look at this article https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/11/why-microsoft-is-releasing-a-new-version-of-windows.html basically 8/9 of their bullet points are literally different ways of saying the reason is money lol. It turns out that their frequent updates were fucking up too many users' systems too (like mine, three weeks ago)
Wasn't the whole point of windows 10 that they would just keep updating it forever?
Yeah, but money
