The Little Snitch would be asking the OS to please tell it about network traffic.

Microsoft's OS.

It would be asking Microsoft's OS to tell it about traffic Microsoft's software wants to keep secret.

I'm sure there's a world where that isn't a laugh line, but I certainly don't live there.

I disagree. What's a worse look: not having this OR having this and being discovered subverting their own security?

OS network filtering APIs don’t work that way and another unrelated and unimportant Microsoft team can’t override it

What indication is there that Microsoft wants to keep this traffic secret? The OP was able to detect and inspect this traffic with standard network monitoring software.
