Growing up, Microsoft dominance felt so strong. 3 decades later, there’s a really high chance my kids will never own or use a windows machine (unless their jobs gives them one).
Microsoft hate was something else in the '90s and 2000s. Yet people stayed with it as if they had no choice while OS/2, AmigaOS, NextStep, BeOS and all those UNIXes died.
Nowadays most things happen in browsers anyways, WINE/Proton have come a long way, and alternatives to almost anything windows-only have reached a critical quality threshold.
Microsoft knows the vast majority of professionals are forced to use their products and services or else they can't put food on the table. That's why Microsoft can operate with near impunity.
