They are clearly preparing themselves to replace OS licensing as their main
revenue model. It does not mean they will kick it out completely, but nowadays
they are getting heavily into data mining, selling services under subscription

Microsoft is ironically one of the main fundraisers for OpenBSD since many
OpenBSD userland tools are used by other OPerating Systems
