They will pay for enterprise licenses and be able to disable and delete it.

Exactly. Group policies give lots of control to mass enable/disable features.

It's one of the reasons to pirate Enterprise Windows instead of Home/Pro, so you can write your own group policies for your own device.

Been doing that for the past 15 years or so, being able to use group policy is essential with Windows. I'm pretty sure my son really wants to upgrade his last computer (to Linux), but I may have more work to convince the wife.

I always just bought grey market keys (for Pro/Enterprise), in nearly 20 years I never had one fail or quit working randomly.
