Looks like you need to bone up on your PC history. Microsoft has done EXACTLY that in the past, even without the technical lockdown of UEFI. There's a reason BeOS won a lawsuit against Microsoft, and a reason both the US and EU filed antitrust lawsuits against MS in the past. Rest assured, there will be millions of PCs out there on which only Windows can be run.
