Note that Microsoft currently sponsors the author of AppGet on GitHub.

(that began some time between 2021-04-16 and 2021-05-19 according to archive.org)

There's a potential interpretation of Microsoft's sponsorship as "a financial gesture to minimize a problem", sure. Without knowing more about the story, though (and there's no requirement for the author or Microsoft to share more details), perhaps we won't really know.
