Not every game can be played on Mac or Linux, so yeah they are profiting by trying to get those to either change completely to Windows or get the OS additionally.
For their own games (or API - DX12) they can make Windows 8 (or 7+) mandatory to even run the game, thus forcing Windows owners to upgrade from XP or Vista.
Obviously Xbox is suffering a bit from that.
