"because they can't just give windows away forever hoping to make it up on OneDrive fees."

Now thid is clearly bullshit. What makes Windows sales again, barely 1/5 of the company's cloud business?

    Well Windows sales might, but that's why you gotta pay for pro mode that removes all the ad shit. Otherwise they would lose out on the additional 2/5 or whatever that comes from their ad-ware

    The ads are for their own services though, doubt they're earning any direct profit from advertising their own services.
