what prevents Microsoft from creating a version of windows that doesn’t allow cracks/activators to be used? Or detect it and disable the OS fully instead of warnings.

If they did, people would go to the free stuff, like linux. Its different, theres a learning curve, etc, etc. But if MS really locked you out of using their products if you didnt pay , then people would learn. The thing is, if this happened, people would go to business and institutions and would expect to use the free stuff theyre used to, making this business/institutions not to pay MS for licenses. MS wants you to use their stuff and think theyre the only stuff computers work with. And theyve succeded. Business/institutions receive people who know how to use MS products, they have to pay MS for licenses since its better for them than training in free alternatives (if there are any at all). And when it comes to this big business and institutions paying, MS gets all the money back from letting average people pirate their stuff.
