If Microsoft doesn't 1) come at this from an angle of adjusting Windows into a great handheld experience, and 2) releasing this as an open platform PC, they're toast.
There are a handful of people who don't have a handheld currently who will blindly follow the branding, but I doubt a single person who is currently enjoying the openness of a Deck, Go, Ally, et cetera will voluntarily blunder back into a freedom-restricting walled garden of any sort.

yeah, I'm sure you could have made the same statement in the early 2000s about ipods and macs and iphones. Those people you are talking about are early adopters, also, it's already currently flawed since most people who are currently using that format of gaming hardware are using a Nintendo Switch, which is about as walled of a garden as you can have.

Yes, but those locked down gardens had the benefit of having stores built in. Most people I know prefer Steam over the Xbox store which is already on there.

Well, if they were really serious about it, I’m sure they could manage something that wasn’t too horrible. But I doubt they’re very serious about it yet.

I wonder how well ads and Microsoft copilot in a gaming handheld will go over.

When did John Bolton become a gamer?

I'd guess prolly about the same time Melon became the world's greatest Diablo and PoE player.
