They just want everyone to have Windows at home, so that it keeps being the "normal" OS for corporations. They make so much money... Windows+ CALs, Office, Exchange, Sharepoint, M365, Azure... it's easier to keep paying them, than to change vendors.

So counter point. Active directory is a god send for managing endpoints, user accounts, endpoints, etc.

No you don't let windows act as a dns server outside the ad subdomain, no you don't use windows to admin your root private ca, and for all you hold dear do not enable that God forsaken web server. But for what it does well, it's the best solution out there.
