So how about 'No OS preinstalled' option? and allow customers to chose if they want to pay the MS tax or not. Maybe they are not allowed to offer this option?

If you pick the DIY version, that is an option. I got mine with no OS preinstalled and no MS tax, and it was easy enough to install Manjaro.
