The same thing is happening at Facebook, Google, Yahoo, and other tech companies. Why single out Microsoft?

Because statistically unless you're in a clear minority, Microsoft makes the OS which you do all your work and process all your data on.

It's sorta a big deal.

Sure, but all the leaks so far are about cases where your data is already going through Microsoft services. If there were any evidence that there was a backdoor in Windows itself, or in any Microsoft software, then you'd have a point.
