Because a company that is “invisible” to a random person on HN that has been one of the most valuable companies in the world for over 20 years and still sells the operating system powering most of the worlds personal computers, 2nd largest cloud provider, and is embedded deeply in most large enterprises and government, it should mean what exactly?

Because it's not just me. I'm just the only one in this thread. HN is not the entire world.

Considering Microsoft’s and the rest of BigTech revenue and market share in their areas, it doesn’t seem like enough people of importance share your opinions to matter.

What do you hope to achieve with this antisocial aggression? Are you only capable of comparative logic?

"Fewer people care about X therefore X doesn't matter."

"Lots of people make money in spite of X so X doesn't matter."

You're not even interested in a real discussion or addressing anything. Why are you on the Internet at all?

I’m saying not enough people care about the opinions of a few idealistic geeks to make it a worthwhile market for any company to care.

In the context of who the market caters to, whether you and people like you ignore Microsoft is meaningless
