They finally started to admit where they're losers and stop trying to fight those battles.

Dumping endless piles of cash into projects nobody cares about and pretending like you're the dominant player when you control some dwindling 2% of the market is stupid and more companies should learn that lesson

I think it's more because individual pc instances literally doesn't matter anymore. Operating systems and programming languages which lock you into them are irrelevant from a revenue standpoint.
