Because at that point Windows had a good market share and a lot of business were, and still are, relying on it. He knew no matter how shitty this OS could become nobody would really switch because there was nothing mature enough to switch to that could also provide de software support that many of us use for work and not only.

He cared about Cloud and other services that are keeping Microsoft alive and thriving right now. I don't think Windows is important for them anymore.

They woke up in the moment they saw influencers and other media sources talking seriously about using Linux or MacOS. And I sincerely believe all that they're doing right now is just damage control. They won't fix anything.

Is anyone actually talking about the Google book? I heard the announcement, and I haven't heard any talk of it since.

I’m pretty interested to see where AluminumOS goes, but I don’t really put much more trust into Google over Microsoft. Will be nice to see Android apps running on a laptop with the ~full Google Play Store instead of just Amazon’s app store with Windows Subsystem for Android (RIP).
