Click-bait article with sensationalized headline for added drama.
The TOS in question actually refers to the Microsoft/Windows Store in Windows 10.... not Windows 10 itself.

It doesn't mean if you pirate Fallout 4 Microsoft are going to delete/disable your cracked .exe or .dll files.
And so is the Golden City blackened
With each step you take in my Hall.
Marvel at perfection, for it is fleeting.
You have brought Sin to Heaven
And doom upon all the world.
