Yeah, I kinda wish the Xbox One didn't exist, too. I get what you're saying though, that stripped-down version of Windows isn't something you can get outside the console. Still, you not being able to use it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's still a fair thing to test against. Windows as a consumer grade OS isn't really meant for gaming. Xbox is Windows stripped down to what's needed for gaming. You can configure Linux to strip down for gaming, so why not compare apples to apples?

This is the funniest copium when the argument usually is "oh these games don't work on linux? That's because you should use windows cause it's actually what those games were meant to be played on!".

My commenter on the internet, consumer-facing Windows is bloat city and will not grant the freedom to cut down the garbage holding performance back like Linux Distros do. If you have Win10/11 Enterprise LTSC and run a few debloat scripts maybe, but that's not something an ordinary person can gain access to without piracy, and it's unlikely that the "stripped down Windows version for gaming" becomes a product without either restrictions or a price premium to the general public.
