Right.
However not every consumer wants to go through all of that hassle. Not everyone is as crafty to want, or do all that on a new machine. Reinstalling everything. This of course is for those who buy their PC's off the shelf, or order versus build them.
Also keep in mind that the OS 'phones home' now, so you can only have it on one PC. Not a major problem for everyone, but for those of us with 3 and 4 machines. The logic's flawed unless you want to buy another license, or junk a PC. Although that could very well be the case.
Joe Blow consumer doesn't know about a lot of the things that us as computer/internet/webmasters do for just reformatting, and starting new like you are proposing.
