SecureBoot exists on servers too. And that's the domain of Linux, not Windows.
Microsoft should never have had so much influence in SecureBoot but there's no way they're getting rid of Linux on servers. Microsoft is mostly irrelevant there.

That's also a weird take. It's antivirus vendors who are going to be fine forever: they rely on Microsoft to write crappy insecure software. And that is a given.
If you Google around, you'll find that about 1/3 of server operating systems broken down by revenue (not install count) is Windows Server. That's billions of dollars.
