To obtain screensavers for Windows, use your favorite search engine to search for "Windows 10 screensavers".

To setup a screensaver:

Change Screen Saver Settings in Windows 10

Note that most screensavers that you download will have a setup program to install it. Once installed, you should use the tutorial above to configure that screensaver.

AFAIK Microsoft doesn't supply additional screensavers ...

... and thus they come from all kind of other sources.

The one I like is a Windows ported screensaver from Apple (go figure).
I didn't get it from here, but this is the one : GitHub - cDima/Aerial: Aerial Apple TV screen saver for Windows
If you look on internet, make sure to download a Windows version.
For once, this piece of software is actually more available for Apple than for Windows, which is a unique condition on itself I guess.

Microsoft had already announced several years ago that they were planning to eliminate screensaves completely, but I guess that they still have not gotten around to it.

That's a .... bad idea. I mean, technically the screens "don't need to be saved anymore" ... but.

I guess they haven't decided what boring static screen they will display when locked ?

They are all about "green" these days. The preferred option (from their viewpoint) is that the monitor actually be powered off and that no screensaver be used. See screenshot below from Windows 11:

I still run one screensaver on occasion. I had one screensaver in particular that I used to love but the author never updated the Windows version so it has not worked on Windows for years. It's a screensaver called "Word Clock" that displays the time in words. I got tired of hoping that the author might one day update it for Windows so I wrote my own version . It allows you to customize what is displayed, for example, the date, seconds, and an added digital clock can each be independently omitted, colors can be fully customized, etc.
