Didn’t read the article, or follow the news enough to be able to make a claim on what they should do, huh

Don’t be fooled. Most went back.
If you don’t really understand it, why do you believe this is so big?
They do. No one really wants it. More than the Surface is getting it.

Can you buy licenses?
I can’t, but OEMs can.
Why haven’t all manufacturers making and selling ARM tablets / laptops with Windows ARM then?
Because no one was buying them.
Microsoft was pushing to make this happen extra hard with Windows 8 or so. They’ve kept it alive since then. It’s revived a bit once they started seeing ChromeOS devices start taking over the low end of the market.
But the available ARM processors kinda sucked; the price difference at the low end wasn’t enough for consumers in most cases: low margins are a demotivator for manufacturers; Intel and AMD got better low-power, low-price options; app availability was/is a big problem, etc.
But you can buy Windows ARM laptops and things from Samsung, Lenovo, a few others right now. The others don’t care, mostly still for the reasons above.
Lots and lots of people, apparently. And lots of those really really should know better.
Stop supporting that shithole, people.
