When I bought my Dell laptop last year, they took $100 off of the price when I chose linux instead of Windows.
The last Windows box I bought was priced at slightly USD 200. (I paid in NOK, so the exact USD amount depends on the exchange rate of the day. If they would take USD 100 off for the OS, that would have halved the price. I don't think they would have done that. Anyway, in my case, I specifically needed Windows on that machine. But the OEM price for Windows10 is most likely far below USD 100. In other words, your Dell dealer subsidizes Linux. Which is of course perfectly legal.
