I agree. And MS agrees too - which is why they do the bundling thing with new computers, deals for schools, bribes for governments, and making their moat as wide as they can.
The EU already does a funny thing with the licenses too. They come with the computer yes, but they are not married like how they are in the US. They are legally required to be able to be separated after purchase. So, the second hand market is full of licenses like this - you can pick up a Win 10 for $7, Office 2019 for $11, and so on.
