While I disagree with the author's opinion, it was very informative for me.

Not mentioned in the article - but it begs the question, could this have something to do with Microsoft's insistence that everyone, even Pro users in the next update, use a Microsoft Account with Windows 11? If Pluton (or Pluton 2, someday) could be tied to a Microsoft Account, wouldn't that be something.

It's I think a general desire for end to end traceability and therefore accountability, which both managers and developers tend to like, albeit for different reasons.
