There would be 0 humiliation because MS would never disclose how much each platform sold or how much profit each platform raised
It would be extremely humiliating, Linux is a 'cancer' remember. Imagine Microsoft having to adopt it in order to stay relevant. Heaven

Would they have to go through the charade of making Windows Phones nobody was buying in order not to reveal it was their Android phones that generated the money? Could they persuade carriers and retailers not to let the cat out of the bag?

Not only that but being forced to adopt Android in order to gain some relevance could make their monopoly of desktops even more vulnerable to an Android incursion.
