“Win10 is clearly the future of Windows”
MS is so screwed.

Nah, Windows is just another application platform now. It is no longer a sustainable standalone product. That's why Microsoft has deprecated Windows in favor of subscription-plan software (e.g. Office365) and cloud services (e.g. Azure).
And that's why MS eliminated the Windows Division a few months ago. Windows as a primary product has been declared dead and will fall over eventually, but it will take a long time. In the meantime, it provides a useful and immensely widespread platform for Microsoft's sustainable products that will keep the company going.
So Win10 is the last Windows release. Forever updating, forever changing incrementally, and forcing users to update to the latest-and-greatest as soon as possible. As the older releases (Win7, Win8, Win8.1) reach end-of-life, Win10 will absorb as many of those users as it can. Many of the others will have moved on to other OSes like MacOS, Linux, or tablet OSes like Chrome, iOS, Android. Some will remain hold-outs on Win7 and WinXP, but in ever-decreasing numbers.
Windows has run its course as a standalone operating system. There's no reason whatsoever for a Windows 11.
