What makes you think that? Microsoft makes things easy for developers.
They've already enabled multiple generations of so-called "Blub developers" to service major portions of the vast enterprise landscape. If you think blub devs are stupid, then you must believe that Microsoft offers a really easy development environment. So why would that be unwanted or un-useful?
Will you argue that nobody wants to get locked into Microsoft's ecosystem or that nobody likes them based on whatever politics? I don't think there is any lock-in here (since it's running on Linux) and I don't think people are that principled when it comes to tools (based on the observation that so many `nix devs have locked themselves into the comfy and easy to use Apple ecosystem).
