This attitude seems pretty dated.

This microsoft are no longer the ridiculously dominant force they once were.

Linux is a core part of their cloud business now.

They have a new CEO, and a lot of time has passed.

They are actively trying to change a lot of their culture and approach to things.

Microsoft still seems very divided. On one hand we have cool developer initiatives, but on the other we still have anti-user behavior like forced W10 upgrades, encrypted black-box telemetry that cannot be disabled, Android patent extortion, and lawsuits over FAT support in other operating systems.

I would love to see MS get their crap together, but it still seems like they can't break their addiction to abusive behavior.
