As far as I can tell, it's because they did some bad things in 1995 and therefore can never be trusted again.

Not just 1995. Windows 10 spyware/crapware is a fundamental violation of the customer's interests in my book.

EDIT: is/was, I've heard they turned some of it down supposedly.

Skype was far more recent than 1995. They have integrated a lot of companies over time and some have done vastly better than others. The risk may be low, but the impact is high enough many are just going to jump asap.
