Why call out Microsoft? They aren't forcing Java or JS. They came up with C# and Typescript instead.
I can't speak to Typescript, but C# is way more fun to write than Java. It's not particularly interesting or glamorous, but it is nicer to write.

We've converted all our JS to TS, huge timesaver.

I meant in general. Microsoft did force their flawed Windows on everybody anyway.

Microsoft forced Windows on everyone, therefore by the transitive property of online griping, Microsoft also forced JS and Java on everyone? But in general, so it makes sense.
This is like saying Coca-Cola is responsible for the high sugar content in Hershey's chocolate. In general.
Disclosure: Microsoft employee.
This is really sad, a whole industry that was once inspired by Unix philosophy and was supposed to be beautiful and fun, is now conquered by languages like JS, php, and Java: so ugly and so not fun.
I always thought programming should be something you do cause you like it, not because you're forced to do it. If you use JS cause "everybody else uses it" and "it pays more", then I'm sorry, you're screwed. I thought CS industry belongs to developers, not tech giants (Oracle, Microsoft, ...) who force Java and JS on everybody.
Someday, some body will stand up and say "Enough is Enough".
