Sometimes it's worth it to stick to what you're good at.
If Github burnt a ton of cash to try and compete with Jira, ended up making a product that didn't attract enough people over at the same time as ignoring problems that users were already grumbling about, this could have led to them being in a worse state and easier for MS to pick up on the cheap.

There are many. We built one in Google Sheets. Zenhub layers over Github. We love it too. But I am sure it didn't require tens of millions of dollars to accomplish.
