At this point they pretty much do. You can download an ISO of Windows 10 Pro, install it and never pay or register it and it will work fine indefinitely with no real restrictions. Last time I tried it, it just prevented setting the background image.

My laptop come with Windows 7. I never pay for Windows 10. And I still get free update in last 5 years.
