It does though because a higher marketshare means more money for them. And if they have almost all the marketshare, they can influence the market easily (see Google and Web Manifest V3).
If people don’t use Windows for example, chances are they won’t buy Office365 and/or OneDrive.
And that doesn’t even broach how Microsoft tried to deploy Recall, which was taking a screenshot of what people were doing every few seconds, a major breach of privacy.
So they might not influence people as much as Meta for example, but it does influence them.
