Microsoft is just full of these strange decisions. People back then used to say Microsoft would never abandon backwards compatibility when it comes to a new product, but they attempted that several times now from Windows RT to Windows S Mode. The move to Windows 11 has also made them drop a lot of hardware that wasn't even that old.
You would think this would mean that they would then be pushing the bleeding edge hardware in their own devices? But no they're still opting for generations old hardware in brand new Surface devices. Perhaps then they would commit to ARM more seriously to really push the limits without care for legacy software, but all we get is an overpriced Windows dev box with no serious roadmap for other first party software.
At this point, all decisions at Microsoft are done at complete random.
