Think of how well people treat public transport they all depend on...now that place is your car and people are alone and unsupervised. You're going to spend a large amount of time and money keeping the car from being a trashed mess.
The IT department are the morons enforcing that shit.
In many cases there simply isn't an alternative to windows. I work in industrial automation, and the software and tools we need only run on windows and there is no change to that in sight. We unfortunately just have to cope with this. What I think is, that enterprise OS versions will be able to disable this stuff entirely because it's a major issue WRT things like customer sensitive solutions.
Yeah most could probably make the switch with no hassle. But their laptop shipped with windows, and it's still working for them, so why would they bother to make that switch? Unless someone forces it on them, they're not going anywhere.
Windows will continue as always. The "normies" as you call them don't give a shit about this. They want things they use on a day-to-day basis to work with no interference from them, they really don't care how.
I think 3.5" are usually priced better per tb than 2.5" drives and performance is usually better too. So unless you feel like burning money for an inferior solution, are have some space constraints that doesn't allow 3.5" drives, I wouldn't go with 2.5" drives. They're more energy efficient though, but you'd need a fuckton of drives for that to make a worthwhile difference in your power bill.

Maybe it's my tinfoil hat that's getting a bit tight here but...
The Chinese are fighting an obesity epidemic like most of the western world, but they have to import all the GLP-1 drugs from companies outside China. They know this will cost a fortune, just look at the US with Novo's ozempic/wegovy. But soon Eli Lilly will have a similar product on the market, and that will be the same for China. They'll have to fork over billions to economic/political adversaries for these drugs, so they want to keep that under control. This is not because they care for anyone's health and safety.
When has anyone ever cared about (total) range of a PHEV/ICE? It'll be a 5min stop for another 600 miles on pretty much every PHEV/ICE out there anyway. It's a pointless metric for that type of vehicle.

My money is on Orwellian power move...
Not sure what a pi4 uses, but my NUC (16gb ram, 1tb NVME, quad core i3 up to 2.4ghz) running my smart home (HA in a VM) and a few other small services in LXCs uses ~7W on average. Loads more compute power if I need it at half the price. Even if a pi4 draws half the power, that's only $8 saving per year.
