As long as they don't remove it from the IoT LTSC edition I don't care.

Something something first they came for the Home users..

I also use IoT LTSC when I need to use Windows, but we shouldn't stand for this shit to begin with, even if it doesn't affect our SKU. In my mind, it's only a matter of time before IoT LTSC won't be a suitable option anymore, and then it's too late to care. It's a stopgap solution to a bigger problem, an abusive and controlling relationship Microsoft has with their users.
