I think they are just fed up with maintaining their own kernel. At this point it honestly seems like they are trying to get people to switch. If they now just release all their code under GPL then the linux nerds can fully support all windows software to allow a seamless transition.
Why bother playing by their rules? We have Wine. We have proton. We can build our own “windows compatible execution environment”, with Blackjack, and Hookers, and better compatibility, and better efficiency, and…
Yes that would be cool, but lots of windows software still doesnt run because it has some detection stuff built in that blocks wine. To solve that the wine devs would need access to the original source.
