Their parent company is baking ads into core parts of their operating system...

The ads in the corner of the task bar are very non intrusive, easy to ignore.

If they put adds like that on a video game it's probably going to receive an insane amount of backlash that whatever game they shove it in will probably go into a deficit.

Idk maybe I'm too bright eyed and optimistic to think that one of the largest corporations in the world has a firm enough grasp on marketing to not blow their foot off the first chance they get.

No such thing as non-intrusive ads. If they were, microslop wouldn't put them. It's to set precedence and soften up their clients.
