So one of the two things Windows is good for - acting as a terminal for remotely accessing better operating systems, is getting a new name that obscures exactly that most useful use case. Yeah, that tracks.

Microsoft must be feeling the need to shore up the walls so their remaining users can't leave as easily.

(Sarcasm/Serious: Let's say 50/50. I am actually aware that some people have other uses for Windows.)

Eh, this won't stop anyone remotely tech savvy. I use a 3rd party software to do rdp, ssh, etc.
