The Windows ecosystem seems to be proprietary and paid solutions.
There is an alternative ecosystem which is cracked and malware-laden
software. The alt-alt Windows FOSS ecosystem is growing, but from what
I have seen, the pay-for-everything and crack-it ecosystems seems to
offer better software [1]. So I don't see that changing anytime soon.

[1] I'm not talking about web browsers here. Windows has lots of
speciality professional software (Solidworks for instance) that do not
have FOSS equivalents. For the average home user, FOSS does seem to
provide everything one needs.
