>Microsoft famously acquired Danger Mobile and then crushed it destroying the first widely adopted smartphone tech for consumers.

Microsoft bought Danger in 2008, 5 years after Andy Rubin left to start Android [0]. 2008 was also the year after iOS was released and the year Android was released. Too little, too late.

Yeah, honestly at the time of the Danger purchase, Danger wasn't that dangerous. It was mostly a manufacurer of really dweeby phones, sorry, hip-tops, that seemed more like a nod to the men's waist packs of the 90s.
