That's exactly why I feel so strongly about investing my development
efforts into open source tools. Many of the sycophants here like to
think it's because I "hate" Microsoft, but it's actually because it
just makes good business sense.
Microsoft, or anyone else for that matter, can't "remove support"
for Python on Windows. They don't control Python. Even if the primary
group developing Python decided not to support an OS, the source is
available with no license burdens, and there would be enough
financial incentive for someone to make it compatible.
