Because they don't like Macs, because you get more for your money with Windows vs a Mac. Bc windows pca can be bought for less. Because they don't want a system whose ram and ssd drive is not upgradeable. Most of the world, business and consumer uses windows.
Thanks for the clarifications. I agree with most of the points, except "because you get more for your money with Windows vs a Mac". I bought a $2000+ DELL XPX for my wife that had a battery issue. Instead of replacing battery I just bought her a M4 Pro MacBook Pro 14". She had a strong resistance against MacBook but I told her I am not going to buy another fancy laptop unless it's a Mac. Now she adores her Aluminum slab. It took her probably a week tops to fully switch to MacBook. Of course that's a very expensive MacBook but it was equivalently priced to XPX (both around ~$2K). And if I sell her laptop 5 years later, I will probably still recoup $500+. A windows XPX will be hard to sell for anything after 5 years (that's from my past experience). If we want, we can use that laptop for next 10 years. Even if the battery dies, we can get genuine Apple service.
Please don't get me wrong. I want strong competition. The fact that people are still buying Windows, keeps me happy. Apple at least have some competition. Otherwise the $800 MacBook Air would become $2000.

Not really true. PCs went the way of the Mac and most laptops have the RAM soldered and sometimes even storage.
