Interesting theory, except Microsoft doesn't make any money off the process. The only cost associated with code signing is paying for the secure certificate, and that money goes to Verisign. It's no more of a money-making scheme than secure (https://) sites. The certificate simply ensures the source of the binary is who it says it is. Without certs, there is nothing to prevent you from making a download that says it's from Microsoft but actually wreaks havoc with an end-user's system.
