I think underlying the dislike of the ad is that it glorifies a situation where people as you say are forced to work.
Certainly if you are forced to work at the whim of your boss, being able to do so while being able to attend a family event is better than simply not being allowed to attend family events.
Being waterboarded is better than the thumbscrews, but most of us would prefer not to have to choose one of them.

This comes back to my other comment in another thread, that everyone should be outraged at the companies enforcing this type of work/life balance, not Microsoft.
