Microsoft ditches Windows 10 S in favour of a new S Mode

This makes the whole situation really baffling. Almost no one's going to use S mode if it's not the default - why would anyone? It offers almost no benefit over regular mode. There's got to be more to this. For example, maybe shipping PCs with S mode enabled if cheaper for OEMs?

Schools, some offices, parental restrictions...

Maybe. I'm not sure how viable that is though, since I would be quite surprised if even they could get all the sotware they need as UWP apps. You have a point though, and could well be right.
