That strategy works until it doesn't, and by then its too late to pivot out of it.

You can make that claim, but you're just some guy on an internet message board (an "armchair quarterback", you could say), not the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar corporation.

Maybe you're right; if so, I'd be happy to see MS collapse. Or maybe you're wrong, and treating their customers terribly will turn out to be very profitable for them. Either way, I don't really see a downside.
