Well sorry if I'm not buying the good Samaritan act.

There are still many bad things they do, like pressure schools into teaching only about MS products in "computer" classes.

That's fine, but it has an opportunity cost.

I came out of a dotnet post-secondary school but I'm now currently working on a React/Node/GraphQL team, I don't see it as a negative in the way you're portraying it here. I think C# is a great starting language both because of the great tool support and the sort of medium level of abstraction.
