I don't know how much Intel or ASUS pays. I don't care about it.
What I do know and care about that for me, as a buyer, Intel or ASUS (I
actually like Gigabyte Brix better, but recently they become too
expensive) mini-PC with Win11 Home will cost $140 more than exactly the
same box without Windows.
That's if bought it in big or medium store. 
In little 1-2-men shop I can get legal Windows license on similar box
for, may be, $50. But I don't know if it will be a round 11 months
later if something breaks.
Pay attention that even in little shop mini-PC with Windows on it will
cost me more than the same box without OS. I didn't try it, but would
guess that [in a little shop] box with Linux preinstalled would cost me
~$25 above box without OS, i.e. still cheaper than with Windows.
