So now Windows bloat is extending to the physical keyboard itself.

Looking at the Microsoft blog post they haven't said exactly how they want keyboard layouts to change. So on a full size keyboard this could be either new key entirely, or replace an existing (and arguably more useful) key.

So long Caps Lock/Scroll Lock

I remap Caps Lock to Escape.

Same. TouchBar Macs inadvertently forced me to move to a more comfy layout.
